AKT and AKT2G Remote I/O Comparison >

The AKT2G family is recommended for new applications requiring remote I/O in a PCMM or PDMM KAS application. This article and attachment compares the AKT2G Remote I/O family with the AKT Remote I/O family.

AKD2G - Sending Secondary Feedback through EtherCAT >

The AKD2G's various feedback options allow for incorporating up to 5 feedback devices into the drive. Occasionally the feedback is not used for servo AXIS control (a position used as a direct command or feedback to a servo axis) but used as an…

Resolving Servo Feedback Choices >

This PowerPoint presentation explains the differences between different types of servo motor feedback devices, including: The differences between absolute and incremental devices. The differences between analog and digital devices. Typical…

Establishing Commutation for Encoder-Halls Based Motors with the AKD/AKD2G >

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…

Encoder Installation Instruction for IDC Stepper Motor 802-004 >

Following are the instructions for adding the Encoder 802-004, which is the 0.25" SHAFT, 500 LINE ENCODER for stepper motors. Attached is the original PDF.  NOTE: S3 & S4 motors require cover mod. for cable General Information The LDA…

Using Endat 2.2 Feedback as a External Encoder Master Signal in a PxMM Application >

Article  https://kdn.kollmorgen.com/content/scaling-2nd-feedback-kas-ide   covers encoders with the following formats:          This article covers the differences when setting up an Endat 2.2…

What commutation offset do Kollmorgen motors have? >

DBL / DBK with EncoderFeedback has no defined commutation offset. The commutation offset is determined with the help of the servo amplifier and stored in the encoder memory.AKM with Hiperface encoderEncoder is installed arbitrarily. The…

Endat 2.2: Inter-compatibility with various encoder types >

In October 2016, an inter-compatibility test was performed together with the company Heidenhain. In this event, the AKD was tested successfully with various types of Heidenhain Endat 2.2 encoders. The devices tested can be found in this…

Integrating external encoder feedback in a PxMM application  >

This article outlines setting up a digitizing axis (secondary external encoder) or encoder master in a PxMM controller application that is using the PLCopen motion engine. The encoder input port is: AKD connector X9. Acceptable formats for the…
