What's New in KAS v3.05
KAS v3.05 introduces the following new features.
- Integration of the BBH SCU-1-EC with the KAS IDE
"Integrated development environment"
An integrated development environment is a 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 and BBH1 SafePLC2 software. This entails:- BBH SCU-1-EC FSoE Master device support
- Safety parameterization via the SCU-1-EC
- KAS IDE / BBH SafePLC2 topology export/import
See BBH FSoE Master for information about the device. The following sections in the online help are recommended for setting up and configuring the BBH-SCU-1-EC.
- Add & Configure Third Party Devices
- EtherCAT Scan and Association
- Working with SafePLC2 Projects
- AKD2G Safety Parametrization Using FSoE with SCU-1-EC and PCMM/AKD PDMM
See the help topic Set Up FSoE Master and an AKD2G with SafeMotion Monitor if you are integrating a different third-party FSoE master into a KAS system.
- Kollmorgen E-Bus I/O Integration
- Digital and Analog I/O
- Safety I/O. See Safety I/O Information for instructions.
- Miscellaneous I/O (counter, encoder, PT100, power supply)
Digital and Analog I/O AKT2G-ECT-000-000 EtherCAT EtherCAT 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 Coupler for E-bus terminalsAKT2G-DN-008-000 8-channel digital input terminal 24 V DC, filter 3.0 ms AKT2G-DNH-008-000 8-channel digital input terminal 24 V DC, filter 10 µs AKT2G-DT-008-000 8-channel digital output terminal 24 V DC, 0.5 A AKT2G-AN-430-000 4-channel analog input, parameterisable, -10/0…+10 V, -20/0/+4…+20 mA, 16 bit AKT2G-AN-400-000 4-channel thermocouple input terminal, wire breakage detection, 16 bit AKT2G-AT-410-000 4-channel analog output terminal 0…10 V, 12 bit AKT2G-AT-425-000 4-channel analog output terminal -10 V…+10 V, 12 bit AKT2G-EM-000-000 Bus end cover, cover for power and E-bus contacts, grey Safety I/O AKT2G-SDI-004-000 4-channel digital input terminal, Safety, 24 V DC AKT2G-SDO-004-000 4-channel digital output terminal, Safety, 24 V DC, 0.5 A Miscellaneous I/O AKT2G-DN-002-000 Up/down counter 24 V DC, 100 kHz, 32 bit counter depth AKT2G-AN-240-000 2-channel input terminal PT100 (RTD) for resistance sensors, 16 bit AKT2G-ENC-190-000 Incremental encoder interface with differential input, 16/32 bit AKT2G-ENC-180-000 1-channel incremental encoder interface, 32 bit AKT2G-PSF-024-000 Power supply terminal with fuse, 24 V DC See Remote Input/Output Terminals for information on specific models.
- KAS WorkBench Improvements
The connection time has been reduced and the time needed to refresh views has been improved.
-
MLAxisReadVel: This function reads the actual velocity of an axis, based on the data provided by the AKD2G drive's feedback device
A process whereby some proportion of the output signal of a system is passed (fed back) to the input.
In automation, a device coupled to each motor to provide indication of the motor's shaft angle, for use in commutating the motor and controlling its speed and position.
