AKD BASIC
AKD BASIC drives provide all the performance features of our leading AKD Series, along with built-in machine and motion control that can be programmed in BASIC programming language from AKD WorkBench. These drives can eliminate the need for a separate PLC or allow machine designers to customize drive functionality.
AKD PDMM®
The AKD PDMM® combines one AKD servo axis and the PCMM EtherCAT master controller that supports up to 31+ more additional AKD axes.
- Full KAS automation capabilities using IEC61131-3 soft PLC industry standard programming language
- Integrated control for multiple servo axes, complete I/O and HMI interface
