The AKD® BASIC Series provides all the performance features of our AKD Series, along with built-in machine and motion control that can be programmed in BASIC using Kollmorgen’s integrated development environment. With control functions on the drive itself, there’s no need for a separate PLC—reducing design time, wiring requirements and panel space while enabling more complex processes and higher performance.

Features

• Machine control and high-performance motion controller built in to the drive for 1.5-axis control (1 real, 1 virtual axis)
• Standard version:
  • 7 configurable digital inputs (+1 dedicated to enable)
  • 2 configurable digital outputs (+1 fault relay)
  • 1 analog input and 1 analog output
  • Service port for commissioning, programming and Modbus TCP/IP
• Expanded I/O version:
  • 20 digital inputs (1 dedicated to enable)
  • 12 digital outputs (1 dedicated fault relay)
  • 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs
  • SD memory card for program and parameter storage
  • Service port for commissioning, programming and Modbus TCP/IP
• Available in the same power and voltage levels as our AKD® Series
• BASIC programming language, including the ability to use conditional statements
• Programming interface is a standard feature of AKD WorkBench, and includes ease-of-use features such as automatic syntax highlighting, auto-complete, auto-format and code templates
• Source code lockout feature with password protection

Benefits

• With the addition of an on-drive BASIC-programmable drive/controller, the AKD® Series achieves a new milestone for versatility and ease of use
• AKD BASIC allows single-axis applications to be handled in the same package sizes as the standard AKD drive, without the need for a separate controller
• The Expanded I/O version integrates additional digital and analog inputs/outputs, eliminating the need for remote I/O and providing even greater capability to serve as a complete machine/motion control package
• Eliminating the need for a separate PLC substantially reduces design time, wiring requirements, panel space and overall cost
• BASIC programming language is widely used, easy to learn, and enables quicker programming of more complex motion processes
• BASIC supports conditional statements, camming, S-curve, limitless motion profiles and other techniques for more advanced motion
• Menu-driven programming within AKD WorkBench offers intelligent formatting, templates and debugging capabilities to speed development and assist in code documentation
• Expanded I/O version supports SD memory card for easy program transfer and maintenance, without the need for a PC
• Source code lockout protects your intellectual property and your machine’s differentiating features

The AKD PDMM® combines an AKD servo drive with a powerful, embedded motion controller in a single, compact package that can control up to 64 axes on your machine. It provides integrated control for multiple high-performance axes, complete I/O and HMI interfaces, and includes the full automation capabilities of Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ — giving you a single, scalable development environment for both AKD PDMM® and PCMM-based machines.

Features

• Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ provides fully integrated programming, testing, setup and commissioning
• Embedded web server utility simplifies service
• Control 20 axes or more* while reducing machine footprint::
  • EtherCAT multi-axis master motion controller integrated with a standard AKD® drive axis
  • Full IEC61131-3 soft PLC for machine control, with support for all 5 programming languages
  • Choice of PLCopen for motion or Pipe Network™ for programming motion control
  • 32 kB non-volatile memory stores machine data to eliminate scrap upon restart after power failure
  • SD Card slot simplifies backup and commissioning, with no PC required
  • Onboard I/O includes 13 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs, 1 analog input, 1 analog output (expandable with AKT series of remote I/O)
• Works with Kollmorgen Visualization Builder™ for programming AKI human-machine interface panels
• Enables plug-and-play compatibility with your servo motor
• Provides access to all the advantages of Kollmorgen´s breadth of motor platforms including AKM®, CDDR™, and other direct-drive technologies
• Supports real-time performance feedback from Smart Feedback Devices (SFD), EnDat2.2, 01, BiSS, Analog Sine/Cos encoder, incremental encoder, HIPERFACE®, and resolver
• Full-frequency autotuning ensures perfect motion across the performance spectrum
  * Maximum axis count depends on motion/automation complexity and performance

Benefits

• Reduce panel space, wiring costs and build time with an AKD servo drive axis and a multi-axis programmable machine and motion controller in a single package—eliminating the need for a separate controller in many applications
• Accelerate design time and simplify integration by using a single, scalable development environment to program AKD PDMM® as well as PAC-based applications up to 128 axes
• Minimize risk and maximize performance with our industry-leading AKD drive hardware integrated with the proven architecture of Kollmorgen Automation Suite
• Deliver advanced features in a higher-performing machine with the advantages of Pipe Network™ and Kollmorgen co-engineering capabilities
• Control multiple high-performance servo axes without the need for a separate controller, saving cabinet space and wiring costs
• Build a complete system with optimal performance using drives, motors, I/O modules, HMI panels and other components designed to work together
