Getting Started with AKD
EtherCAT Drives and the
LabVIEW NI SoftMotion
Module

This document describes how to install and configure the AKD EtherCAT servo drive using the
LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module. The system uses either a CompactRIO Reconfigurable
Embedded system, a PXI system, or an NI Industrial Controller as the EtherCAT master, one or
more AKD EtherCAT servo drives, and the LabVIEW Development System.

Tip

If you encounter any problems during setup, refer to the

Troubleshooting

section for assistance.
