Retrofit KAS EtherCAT Backups with AKD2G Firmware >

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…

AKD2G EtherCAT W7011 Warning and F7011 Fault Synchronization Error Support >

This article provides details related to cause and remedy of the W7011 warning and F7011 Fault in the AKD2G EtherCAT drive.

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…

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 Command Source for EtherCAT/CANopen >

The AKD command source (DRV.CMDSOURCE) is set automatically by the EtherCAT/CANopen master controller.  There is no need to set this in Workbench when using the fieldbus.  And there is no need to read DRV.CMDSOURCE to verify that it's set…

Workbench loses connection when EtherCAT master is connected to the AKD using EoE >

EoE Overview EoE = Ethernet over EtherCAT This allows communication between Workbench (installed on the EtherCAT master PC) and the AKD using Telnet communication over the EtherCAT network.  It allows connecting to the…
