[etherlab-users] How to use the master code to communicate with Kollmorgen AKD drive and its motor

[Sebastien BLANCHET]

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:
