AKD BASIC Programmable Servo Drives

Oct. 23, 2012
Kollmorgen's programmable servo drives offer plug-and-play commissioning for instant, seamless access to everything in your machine.

AKD BASIC servo drives are Ethernet-based and feature an integrated single-axis motion controller, enabling OEMs to build a more compact and cost-effective machine than is possible with a separate drive and PLC configuration.

 

The camming, s-curve, and free-form motion profile capabilities delivered by the integrated motion controller, combined with the simplicity of the programming language and a built-in program editor with debugging tools, enable machine builders to execute complex processes faster.

 

AKD drives work well in machines that still require a PLC with multiple interfaces, including digital I/O and Ethernet communications. The controller can also help users run more complex processes and increase machine throughput in single-axis applications.

 

The fast interrupt routines and conditional “when” statements ensure fast program execution, which is key for coupling motion and machine control. These routines and “when” statements are scanned every 250 ms. Additionally, a source code lockout feature helps users protect their machine designs and IP.
