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…

Establishing Commutation for Resolver 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…

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…

BiSS-C >

BiSS-C is a digital encoder protocol that permits a wide range of possible formats. The AKD supports the most common BiSS-C format, and can only guarantee support for the encoders listed in "Documented BiSS-C Encoders". To determine if a BiSS-C…

Valid for S300, S700 (S400 & S600 minimal changes in display)

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…
