AKD PDMM® Programmable Drive, Multi-Axis Master

AKD PDMM® Programmable Drive,

Multi-Axis Master

The AKD PDMM® combines one AKD servo axis and a master controller that supports up to seven or more additional AKD axes in a single, compact package. 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 PAC-based machines.

Features

Kollmorgen Automation Suite™ provides fully integrated programming, testing, setup and commissioning
Embedded web server utility simplifies service
Control 8 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 servomotor
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 (8 axes nominal based on medium complexity at 4 kHz network update rate)

Benefits
