KOLLMORGEN S406BA-CA406AC
Product Brief: The S400 series is Kollmorgen’s mid-range digital servo drive offering compact design, multi-axis internal bus communication, and full digital control. The S406BA typically denotes a 400 V-class, 6 A continuous, analog ±10 V / CANopen-capable unit; CA406AC refers to the matching accessory/option or cable kit in legacy ordering systems. Compatible with AKM and legacy Goldline motors.

Features & Benefits:
-
Master-slave internal bus allows up to 7 expansion axes from one master—minimizes wiring.
-
Fully programmable via Kollmorgen WorkBench / ServoStar software.
-
Integrated EMC filter (on most AC-input versions).
-

Applications: Converting & packaging lines, woodworking machinery, material handling, general-purpose automation, labeling machines.
Installation & Notes:
-
Install in grounded enclosure; separate power and signal wiring.
-
If DC-bus sharing, connect all drive DC-link terminals in parallel with appropriately sized cable.
-
Verify motor winding voltage matches drive bus configuration (320 VDC or 640 VDC max bus).
