The AKD® BASIC Series provides all the performance features of our AKD Series, along with built-in machine and motion control that can be programmed in BASIC using Kollmorgen’s integrated development environment. With control functions on the drive itself, there’s no need for a separate PLC—reducing design time, wiring requirements and panel space while enabling more complex processes and higher performance. Features • Machine control and high-performance motion controller built in to the drive for 1.5-axis control (1 real, 1 virtual axis) • Standard version: • 7 configurable digital inputs (+1 dedicated to enable) • 2 configurable digital outputs (+1 fault relay) • 1 analog input and 1 analog output • Service port for commissioning, programming and Modbus TCP/IP • Expanded I/O version: • 20 digital inputs (1 dedicated to enable) • 12 digital outputs (1 dedicated fault relay) • 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs • SD memory card for program and parameter storage • Service port for commissioning, programming and Modbus TCP/IP • Available in the same power and voltage levels as our AKD® Series • BASIC programming language, including the ability to use conditional statements • Programming interface is a standard feature of AKD WorkBench, and includes ease-of-use features such as automatic syntax highlighting, auto-complete, auto-format and code templates • Source code lockout feature with password protection
