KOLLMORGEN to showcase the AKD2G Servo Amplifier and PCMM Motion Controller KOLLMORGEN is a leading provider of integrated automation and drive systems will exhibit the AKD2G servo amplifier and PCMM motion controller at Hannover Messe from 24 to 28 April 2017 at the ETG user organization stand in Hall 9, Stand D18. KOLLMORGEN uses EtherCAT as the system bus for the second generation of AKD2G servo amplifier and highperformance communication with EtherCAT also plays a vital role for the new PCMM motion controller. Both devices will be exhibited at 72 www.martupdate.com
the joint ETG stand. Machinery and plant manufacturers have a real advantage when safety technology communication is incorporated into the machine’s existing real-time communications. The second generation of KOLLMORGEN AKD2G servo amplifier uses FSoE - the EtherCAT safety protocol - for safe communication. Since safety and motion both run over the same cable, the need for additional secure wiring together with EA safety modules to control the safe motion functions has
been eliminated. The AKD2G is particularly remarkable for safe brake control (SBC) and the integrated safe brake test
(SBT), KOLLMORGEN provides an important safety function, for, as an example, the vertical axes on the controller side.
