10.3 Setup AKD-M
10.3.1 Setup software KAS IDE
This chapter describes the installation of the setup software KAS IDE for the AKD-M (AKD
PDMM) drives. KAS IDE is not used for setting up the AKD-B, AKD-P and AKD-T drives, for
these drive variants the WorkBench software must be used (
The KAS IDE integrated development environment contains tools for configuring the Ether-
CAT Network, setup and tuning the drives, creating a PLC program, and creating an HMI.
Kollmorgen offers training and familiarization courses on request.
10.3.2 Use as directed
The setup software is intended to be used for altering and saving the operating parameters for
the AKD PDMM series of drives. The attached drive can be set up with the help of this soft-
ware, and during this procedure the drive can be controlled directly by the service functions.
Only professional personnel who have the relevant expertise (
# 15) are permitted to carry
out online parameter setting for a drive that is running.
Sets of data that have been stored on data media are not safe against unintended alteration
by other persons. Unexpected move could be the result if you use unchecked data. After load-
ing a set of data you must therefore always check all parameters before enabling the drive.
