Hi,

Kollmorgen AKD is a CoE (Can Over Ethercat) servo drive so it is better to read the CAN user manual first.

If you have the CC version (EtherCAT + CAN) and a CAN controller, it is worth training yourself first in CAN mode, and then apply that you learn in EtherCAT mode.

Anyway, in both mode, you have to configure the PDO mapping with SDO command at each startup before using the driver.
See this message for details:

  Dear Folks,

I am new with the master code in linux and trying to learn and speed
myself up as a student in this area.

I purchased Kollmorgen AKD servo drive and its AKM21C motor. I trying to
use the master code 1.5.2 to communicate with this servo drive.
Could anyone guide me through this communication setups. It would be
great if you all could offer some detail in steps.

1) Do I need to write some scripts and integrated into this master code
in linux? What kind of scripts do I need to write?
2) How to use SDO? how to do PDO mapping?
3) How to setup XML file?
4) Any steps I need to do?

I have installed ubuntu 14.04 and master code 1.5.2 on my computer with
64-bit OS.

I thank you all for the help and look forward to hearing from you!

Best Wishes!

Xinhua Gan
