Kollmorgen AKD-B04807-NCS

Product Series: AKD-B (AKD Basic — Standard Performance Servo Drive)

Product Introduction:
The AKD-B04807-NCS is a variant of the AKD-B04807 servo drive with a different configuration code. The “NCS” suffix indicates a specific I/O and communication configuration that differs from the NCA variant. All core performance parameters (48A, Rev 7) are identical to the NCA model.

Key Differences from AKD-B04807-NCA:

Feature NCA NCS
Digital Inputs 16 24
Digital Outputs 8 12
Analog Inputs 2 4
Analog Outputs 2 2 (same)
EtherCAT Yes Yes
CANopen Yes Yes
Current Rating 48A 48A (same)
Power Rating ~4.8kW ~4.8kW (same)

Functional Features:

  • Same core performance as NCA variant.
  • Extended I/O count — suitable for machines with many sensors, valves, and indicator lights.
  • 4 analog inputs — supports multi-axis analog commanding or multi-sensor monitoring.
  • 24 digital inputs — accommodates complex interlock and safety circuits.

Applicable Industries:

  • Same as AKD-B04807-NCA, plus:
  • Machines with high I/O count requirements (e.g., stamping presses, multi-station transfer lines).

Installation Requirements:

  • Identical to AKD-B04807-NCA.
  • Use additional terminal blocks if I/O count exceeds drive terminal capacity — use Kollmorgen I/O expansion modules.

Usage Precautions:

  • Identical to AKD-B04807-NCA.
  • Verify I/O assignment in Workbench — NCS has more I/O points; incorrect mapping causes faults.
