The AKD2G drives with firmware versions 02-12-00-001 (and later) do not support downgrading the firmware to the versions 02-12-00-000 (or earlier).
The KAS EtherCAT backups created using AKD2G firmware 02-12-00-000 (or earlier) are not capable of…
This article discusses AKD EtherCAT scaling for velocity, acceleration, and deceleration commands and actual velocity. For the position modes, FBUS.PARAM05 applies to position scaling and the scaling for velocity, acceleration, and…
The AKD drive supports flexible EtherCAT PDO mapping. The 4 available flexible RxPDO’s (PDO data for receive direction, commands from master to drive) are mapped using objects 1600h, 1601h, 1602h, and 1603h. Each one of these RxPDOs is…
When migrating from AKD EtherCAT IP mode (Interpolated Position) to AKD2G EtherCAT CSP mode (Cyclic Synchronous Position), the only thing that needs to be changed is the target position object (change from 60C1h sub1 to 607Ah).
IP mode is supposed…
