AKD® BASIC Programmable Drives

AKD BASIC drives provide all the performance features of our leading AKD Series, along with built-in machine and motion control that can be programmed in BASIC programming language from AKD WorkBench. These drives can eliminate the need for a separate PLC or allow machine designers to customize drive functionality.

With the addition of an on-drive BASIC-programmable drive/controller, the AKD® Series achieves a new milestone for versatility and ease of use.

AKD BASIC allows single-axis applications to be handled in the same package sizes as the standard AKD drive, without the need for a separate controller.

Features:

• Machine control and high-performance motion controller built in to the drive for 1.5-axis control (1 real, 1 virtual axis)
• Standard version:
  • 7 configurable digital inputs (+1 dedicated to enable)
  • 2 configurable digital outputs (+1 fault relay)
  • 1 analog input and 1 analog output
  • Service port for commissioning, programming and Modbus TCP/IP
• Expanded I/O version:
  • 20 digital inputs (1 dedicated to enable)
  • 12 digital outputs (1 dedicated fault relay)
  • 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs
  • SD memory card for program and parameter storage
  • Service port for commissioning, programming and Modbus TCP/IP
• Available in the same power and voltage levels as our AKD® Series
