Like existing amplifiers in the AKD range, the new more powerful units are designed for plug and play compatibility with Kollmorgen motors. This coupled with advanced auto-tuning and an intuitive graphical interface for programming and troubleshooting allows systems to be built and commissioned easily and quickly. This feature is further enhanced by the provision of Ethernet connectivity, feedback devices, bus choices and other networking options.
A PC-compatible TCP/IP Ethernet service channel ensures fast data acquisition in operation. Further, option cards are available for the PDMM to increase I/O, add non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) and boost processing power.
AKD servo amplifiers have very high bandwidth torque-and-velocity loops and fast digital current loops, resulting in precise motion control. Dual channel, SIL 3/PLe certified STO is implemented as standard.
