cRIO with Kollmorgen

[GSXR100038]

Hello,

I've a cRIO -9064 with AKD Kollmorgen by EtherCAT. I need to know how to send a speed setpoint with my cRIO (as master). Have you some examples of control by labVIEW ? Probably in the first time I must configure my AKD Kollmorgen as slave and my cRIO as master and how can I communicate with my motor by EtherCAT ? Thank

Hi,

Have you tried reading this document?  This is pretty comprehensive.

Also some great youtube videos here:

Hi,

You say : 

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

But I communicate with AKD only by EtherCAT and not with NI SoftMotion, either it does not exist anymore since LabVIEW 2019. I read the documentation, it is long and not easy to translate with the code. If you have an example with LabVIEW how to communicate directely by EtherCAT with AKD Kollomorgen It'll be better. Thanks for your helps.

PDF document is no longer on NI pages (likely due to discontinued support for NI SoftMotion)
