AKD Drive Configuration
Connection Modes
Disconnected
If the controller is not operating in one of these modes, then the AKD configurations are not accessible.
The Configuration tab indicates the AKD is Disconnected.
Online Configuration Mode
In Online Configuration mode, parameters are updated directly The orientation components of a vector in space. to the AKD or AKD2G through TelNet commands with EtherCAT Ethernet ofr Control Automation Technology. EtherCAT® is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT is to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs. in Pre-Operational mode.
When you modify the value of a parameter, a command is sent to the drive and the corresponding parameter is updated.
Project Running on the Controller
When a project is running on the controller, parameters are updated directly to the AKD with EtherCAT in Operational mode.
- When the value of a parameter is modified, a command is sent to the drive and the corresponding parameter is updated.
- Beware that your PLC Programmable Logic Controller - A digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events. application is running and can also read or write parameters to the AKD.

An AKD drive cannot be deleted while it is connected.
The AKD drive leaves Online Configuration mode and starts the application if you start an application while the drive is in that mode.
-
Before leaving Online Configuration mode (either by clicking the Online Configuration button or the Start button when the device is in Online Configuration mode), verify these conditions exist:- The drive is not enabled Enable signal for the drive, Hardware-Enable with 24V signal to X8, Software-Enable command by setup Software, fieldbus or permanently set. Both are required for enabling the drive..
- The service motion is not enabled.
- Auto-tuning is not enabled.
- Recommendation: Click the Disable Removal of the ENABLE signal.

AKD Configuration According to EtherCAT State
The drive configuration can only take place when the EtherCAT is in the Op or Pre-Op state.
