Introducing the Kollmorgen AKD PDMM™ Multi-Axis Integrated Servo Drive and Automation Controller

The AKD PDMM ™ available from Micromech, combines one AKD servo axis and a master controller that supports up to eight 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 a single, scalable development environment for both AKD PDMM and PAC-based machines.

Extending customer design options the AKD PDMM controls as many as eight axes or more without the need for a PLC or PAC thus reducing cabinet space and wiring requirements. It is the perfect machine and motion controller for any project using a single, fully integrated programming environment, in so building a better machine at a lower cost.

  • 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
  • 32 kB non-volatile memory stores machine data to eliminate scrap upon restart after power failure
  • SD Card slot simplifies backup and commissioning, with no PC required
  • Onboard I/O includes 13 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs, 1 analogue input, 1 analogue output (expandable with AKT series of remote I/O)
  • Works with Kollmorgen Visualisation Builder for programming AKI human-machine interface panels
  • Enables plug-and-play compatibility with the servomotor provides access to all the advantages of Kollmorgen’s breadth of motor platforms including AKM™, CDDR™ and other direct-drive technologies
  • Supports real-time performance feedback from Smart Feedback Devices (SFD), EnDat2.2, 01, BiSS, Analogue Sine/Cos encoder, incremental encoder, HIPERFACE®, and resolver
  • Full-frequency auto-tuning ensures perfect motion across the performance spectrum
  • Maximum axis count depends on motion/automation complexity and performance (8 axes nominal based on medium complexity at 4 kHz network update rate
  • The fastest velocity and position loop updates

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
