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.

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

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

*Maximum axis count depends on motion/automation complexity and performance
