Feedback

The AKD2G offers a variety of feedback solutions which allow you to optimize your system based on your specific machine requirements. The Feedback Types table provides a description of the available feedback types and the Feedback Types Supported on Each Connector table shows the currently supported feedback types with associated connector/Feedback ID. Your motor model number will indicate the type of feedback that you have.

Kollmorgen motors with digital feedback devices (such as SFD, EnDat, BiSSClosed "Bi-directional Serial Synchronous interface" An open-source communication protocol for feedback devices. With BiSS, all of the computation for interpolation in regard to position occurs on the ASIC directly in the encoder, HIPERFACE and, Tamagawa) are plug and playand all feedback and motor settings are configured automatically. Third party motors, or Kollmorgen motors with non-digital feedback types, require parameters to be entered manually. See Non-Plug and Play Feedback Devices.
