AKD EtherCAT Scaling for Velocity, Acceleration, and Deceleration >

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…

AKD EtherCAT Flexible PDO Mapping Size Limitations and Padding >

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…

AKD Profinet PN.ACCSCALING Examples >

PN.ACCSCALING sets the scaling factor for acceleration rates related to PROFINET motion commands. The AKD PROFINET manual states that it applies to Jog Acc (PNU 1006), Jog Dec (PNU 1007), DRV_ACC (Telegram Signal 108), and DRV_DEC…

Migration from AKD EtherCAT IP mode to AKD2G CSP mode >

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…
