SII EEProm - EtherCAT Slave Information

AKD2G has a built-in emulated EEProm. This EEProm can be read by the EtherCAT master to get some information about drive properties, like PDO-information, drive name, serial numbers and communication-specific attributes.

They are organized in categories. There are two manufacturer-specific categories implemented in the AKD2G:

  • Category 0x0800: Holds a string with the model type in the format AKD2G-P00000-NxxC-0000
  • Category 0x0801: Holds the firmware version in the format 0x_xx-xx-yyy
