Master-Slave control

Several AKD2G can be connected as slave drives to another AKD2G which acts as a master. The slave drives use the master's encoder output signal (EEO, see "Output - Emulated Encoder Output (EEO)") as command input and follow these commands (velocity and direction).

Examples

Master-Slave using feedback connector X22

The master is configured for EEO2 see "Technical characteristics connector X22, EEO2" on X22 for command output.

The slave is configured using Feedback 5 (FB5) on X22 for command input.

Master-Slave using optional feedback connector X23 or X41

The master is configured for EEO1 see "Technical characteristics connector X23, EEO1" on X23 or EEO3/EEO4 (see "Output - Emulated Encoder Output (EEO)" with SFA) on X41, the slave uses Feedback 3 (FB3) on X23 (or X41 with SFA) for command input.
