AKD User Guide | 8 Configuring Motor Settings
8.1 Motor
8.1.1 Overview
The Motor screen is used to set up or confirm the parameters of the motor that is connected to the drive. In cer-
tain cases, based on the feedback type, the motor parameters will automatically be set. The drive will auto-
detect feedback devices that are preset with the appropriate feedback and motor parameters when MOTOR.A-
UTOSET is set to 1 (default). The values the drive uses for commutation and current and velocity loop gains will
be populated automatically.
If your motor does not have a plug and play feedback device, then you must turn off the motor autoset feature as
shown in the screenshot below (MOTOR.AUTOSET = 0) and select the appropriate motor from the motor param-
eter database.
All of the appropriate Kollmorgen motors compatible with the AKDdrive are contained in the motor database. For
motors that are not listed, click Select Motor to open a custom motor view in which you can input the appropriate
motor parameters.
8.1.2 Motor Setup
For SFD, Endat, and BiSS feedback devices, the drive will automatically be detected and the correct motor
parameters will be automatically set in the AKD drive. If your motor is detected automatically, the parameters in
the Motor view are shaded and not accessible. If you have a non-plug and play standard device (such as an incre-
mental encoder or resolver), you can use this screen to enter the standard AKM, Cartridge motor, DDR, or DDL
motor. Other motors can be entered using the Custom Motor selection and setting up the parameters (see sec-
tion on non memory motors). Select the standard motor from the drop down list and select ok. The AKD drive will
now show all of the appropriate parameters needed for the motor to operate properly.
8.1.3 Using the Motor View
The Motor view displays parameters related to the specific motor attached to the drive as follows:
l Motor Name: The motor part number read from the autoset device, or the name from the motor database.
When entering a custom motor name, the motor name should not contain any spaces.
l Motor Type: This field allows you to select the proper parameters for a rotary motor or a linear motor (linear
motors are a future feature).
l Motor Autoset: This setting to allows the drive to automatically set up a plug and playmotor (MOTOR.A-
UTOSET = 1). With Motor Autoset turned off (MOTOR.AUTOSET = 0), you can access the motor data-
base to select a catalog or custom motor.
The next set of parameters displayed are specific to the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the motor
connected to the AKDdrive.
