Kollmorgen CVC600 18446-13A
Product Name: CVC600 Compact Vehicle Controller (AGV/AMR Controller)
Product Introduction:
CVC600 is Kollmorgen’s compact 32-bit RISC vehicle controller for AGVs and AMRs, not a servo axis drive. 18446-13A is the hardware/firmware revision label. It runs Linux, manages navigation, fleet comms and I/O, and interfaces to servo drives over CAN/RS.

Working Principle:
Autonomous vehicle supervisor: reads navigation sensors, computes path, sends velocity setpoints to axle servo drives, supervises I/O and safety contacts.
Structure & Materials:
Cast aluminum/coated steel rugged housing, conformal-coated PCB, industrial connectors.
Installation Requirements:
Mount on vibration-isolated plate in AGV mast or chassis, 24–48 VDC from battery with TVS, antenna outside metal enclosure.
Usage Notes:
Not a servo amplifier—needs downstream AKD/S700 for motor power; firmware 18446-13A pairs with specific NDC8/NDC9 fleet stack.
