Commutation is the means by which a servo drive controls the torque of a motor by determining the position of the motor and applying current to the appropriate motor phases. If the rotor position of the motor is not determined correctly or the…

Kollmorgen is excited to announce our new Value Line cable offering!
Kollmorgen introduced our current Value Line Cables to North America in 2007 to offer a low cost solution between our AKM and AKD/S200. The cables have performed well with…
The X9 Port on the AKD drive is generally used as an encoder input, EEO (encoder emulated output), or not used. However, the AKD also has the feature to use the X9 port as general I/O.
WorkBench (version ≥ 2.2.2.4811) has some accessible parameters to tweak the way data are exchanged with the drive. Keywords sent to the drive and answers returned will be grouped together to build bigger packets of data. This is particularly…
The 0x0688 or 0x0288 or 0x0289 fault is displayed on the keypad as an Undefined Fault. This fault code will be at the bottom of the keypad display. When connected to the ServoTuner software, these come up as Commutation Sensor Fault…
Many servo applications exist in which it is more practical to use a DC power supply for the motor bus power instead of using AC power. Some of these include the use of batteries, generators, low voltage DC power supplies, and there are cases…
