About AKT-SM-Lxx Stepper Slices

The KAS provides basic support for Kollmorgen™ stepper slices (AKT-SM-L15-000 & AKT-SM-L50-000). This includes the ability to manually add the stepper slices, scan, discover, and initialize the EtherCATEtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was 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. Configuration and motion is commanded via the application code or UDFBs.

The stepper slice is visible in the project tree and its properties may be viewed but there are several limitations.
