System topology of an MKD drive system

System limits

Length String 2/3

Maximum 100 m total cable length per string.

Number of MKD-C

Limited by fieldbus protocol.

Number of MKD-N axes

Maximum 14 axes for string 1, total maximum 28 axes if string 1 and 2 are combined (observe total power and current restrictions).

Number of AKD-N

Maximum 14 per string, total maximum 28 on strings 2 and 3, (observe total power and current restrictions).

Global STO (String 2/3):
Number of AKD-N

  • AKD-N Hardware Rev. A or B: 8 AKD-N
  • AKD-N Hardware Rev. A or B with signal buffer: 14 AKD-N
  • AKD-N Hardware Rev. C: 14 AKD-N

Output current

Use coincidence factor of the axes for distribution and system power optimization.

String 1: 43 A, String 2: 16 A, String 3: 16 A

Total power

At 565 V to 680 V limited to 30 kW.

String 2/3 power

At 565 V to 680 V limited to 10 kW for each string.

String standby power

At 55 V limited to 180 W for each string.

Motor Brake power

You can control up to 3 motor brakes per string. Available power for brakes is 76 W per string (= 3.2 A @ 24 VDC).

Service Interface X18

Ethernet TCP/IP, 100 Mbit/s, max. cable distance 100 m
