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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
