Applicable Industries: Machine Tools, Print & Convert, Material Handling, Medical Devices, Robotics

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount vertically with airflow unobstructed (minimum 50 mm clearance above and below)
  • Use shielded EtherCAT cable (Kollmorgen part: AKD-ECAT-xx)
  • Braking resistor: minimum 10 Ω, 100 W (for 24V/7A system)

  • Maximum cable length for EtherCAT: 100 m (single segment, no couplers)
  • Do not exceed 36 VDC on DC bus — permanent damage will occur
