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
