Kollmorgen AKD Installation Manual

9.2.3 Software description
Each drive must be adapted to the requirements of your machine. For most applications, you
can use a PC and WorkBench (the drive setup software) to set up the operating conditions
and parameters for your drive. The PC is connected to the drive by an Ethernet cable (➜ p.
148). The setup software provides the communication between the PC and AKD. You can
find the setup software on the accompanying DVD and in the download area of the Koll-
morgen™ website.
With very little effort you can alter parameters and instantly observe the effect on the drive,
since there is a continuous (online) connection to the drive. You can also read important
actual values from the drive, which are displayed on the monitor of the PC (oscilloscope func-
tions).
You can save sets of data on data media (archiving) and load them them into other drives or
use them for backup. You can also print out the data sets.
Most standard feedbacks (SFD, EnDAT 2.2, 2.1, and BiSS) are plug and play compatible.
Motor nameplate data is stored in the feedback device and read by the drive automatically at
startup. Non-plug and play Kollmorgen™ motors are stored in WorkBench and can be loaded
with one-click using the Motor screen in the WorkBench software.
An extensive online help with integrated description of all variables and functions supports
you in each situation.
