Product Description:

The AKD-M00306-M1EC-D000 is a programmable servo drive from Kollmorgen that belongs to the AKD-PDMM Programmable Drives series. By combining a motion controller and power stage in one unit, it directs multiple servomotors and executes PLC logic inside compact automation cells and modular machines. The product’s purpose in industrial automation is to synchronize axis movement, close torque loops, and exchange real-time data with higher-level controllers through its integrated communication interfaces and onboard control functions.

The drive accepts mains supplies at 120/240 VAC on either single-phase or three-phase lines, so it fits common plant distribution panels. It delivers a continuous output of 3 Arms, providing steady current for mid-frame motors during sustained duty. A single-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz executes the embedded PLC program and servo loops, while the fieldbus stack provides deterministic connectivity through EtherCAT. Up to 64 axes can be coordinated from the internal motion engine, removing the need for an external controller in complex machines. For local analog tasks, the front panel carries one input and one output channel, and the digital inputs capture fast sensors and edge signals.

A peak burst of 9 Arms is available for acceleration or dynamic braking before current is reduced to the thermal limit. Control electronics are powered from an auxiliary bus at 24 VDC, allowing the control section to remain active when mains power is off. Current is switched at 8 kHz, a frequency that balances acoustic noise with motor winding losses. The digital inputs, highlighted as 13, share common reference terminals for straightforward wiring. The housing measures 168 mm in height, 89 mm in width, and 156 mm in depth, so it occupies a single slot in most IEC 61554 cabinets while leaving clearance for airflow around adjoining modules.
