EtherCAT Toolbar

This action is only available when the KAS Kollmorgen Automation Suite Runtime In computer science, runtime (or run-time) describes the operation of a computer program, the duration of its execution, from beginning to termination (compare compile time). In KAS, runtime refers to the virtual machine that manage the program written in a computer language while it is running. is connected with the target Controller.

• Click this toggle button to change the mode (ON / OFF).
• After the scan has been performed, and your project is compliant with the physical devices on the 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. network, you can activate the Online Configuration Mode.
  • Online Configuration Mode allows setting up AKD and AKD2G drives In electrical engineering, a drive is an electronic device to provide power to a motor or servo. Control device for regulating the speed, torque and position of a motor. A unit controlling a motor using the current and timing in its coils. in an EtherCAT installation.
  • In this mode, KAS-IDE Kollmorgen Automation Suite - Integrated Development Environment communicates with the drives through the integrated views of the AKD Setup Screens or with the AKD Setup Wizard.
  • KAS-IDE Integrated Development Environment - An type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger. displays a quick status overview of all the drives.
• The AKD Setup Screens allow functions (e.g., enabling 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. / disabling Removal of the ENABLE signal. Disables power stage. the drive, service motion, tuning, and a scope) where you can plot up to six different parameters from the drive.
