Step 1: Set Up the Real Time System
Complete the following steps to set up the CompactRIO hardware.
1. Refer to the Getting Started guide included with the Real-Time controller to assemble it,
connect it to power, discover it on the network, and install the software in NI MAX.
2. Install the NI 9514 or NI 9516 module in an available slot that supports High Speed
Interface (HSI) in your chassis.
Note Older model chassis, such as cRIO-902x, cRIO-907x, cRIO-908x, NI 9144,
and NI 9148, have HSI support on slots 1 through 4. Refer to your chassis
documentation for more information about HSI slot support.
Step 2: Connect NI 9514/16 to AKD Drive Cable to the
C Series Module
Connect the MDR and DSUB connectors on the NI 9514/16 to AKD Drive Cable (part number
781524-01) to the MDR and DSUB connectors on the C Series module. Figure 3 shows the
NI 9514/16 to AKD Drive Cable connectors.
Figure 3. NI 9514/16 to AKD Drive Cable Connectors
The NI 9514/16 to AKD Drive Cable contains the following connections:
•DSUB Connector—15-pin DSUB connector containing drive command and drive enable
signals.
•MDR Connector—20-pin MDR connector containing encoder, limit, home sensor,
position compare, and position capture signals.

Step 3: Mount the Drive and Connect the Protective
Earth
1. Mount the drive to a conductive metal plate. Refer to the AKD Installation Manual for
dimensions and additional information specific to the drive model.
2. Connect the protective earth (PE) to either ground screw on the drive grounding lug.
Figure 2 shows the location of the grounding lug on the drive.
Step 4: Connect the Logic Power Supply to the
NI 9514/16 to AKD Drive Cable
The NI 9514/16 to AKD Drive Cable requires connection to an external +24 V power supply.
The +24 V power supply provides both the logic power to the AKD servo drive and powers the
NI 9514 or NI 9516 module.
Note Do not plug in or turn on the +24 V power supply until after you complete the
steps in the Step 8: Connect the Drive Communication section.
Complete the following steps to connect the +24 V power supply to the cable.
1. Connect the +24 V power supply (+) terminal to the Vsup terminal on the NI 9514/16 to
AKD Drive Cable screw terminal connector.
2. Connect the +24 V power supply return (-) terminal to the Vsup Return terminal on the
NI 9514/16 to AKD Drive Cable screw terminal connector.
Step 5: Connect the NI 9514/16 to AKD Drive Cable to
the AKD Servo Drive
Connect the NI 9514/16 to AKD Drive Cable to the AKD servo drive. Refer to Figure 2 for the
location of the connectors.
1. Connect the cable X1 3-pin connector to the AKD servo drive X1 3-pin connector. This
connector provides +24 V power to both the drive logic and to the safe torque out (STO)
input. The STO input must be powered by +24 V for proper drive operation. If you need to
use the STO functionality complete the following additional steps:
a. Disconnect the STO wire from the NI 9514/16 to AKD cable X1 connector and
insulate it.
Note The STO and +24V wires are internally connected in the NI 9514/16 to AKD
cable. You must insulate the STO wire if you disconnect it from the X1 connector.
b. Connect the STO terminal and GND terminal to the output of a safety relay or security
control. The safety relay must comply with the requirements of the SIL 2 according to
IEC 61800-5-2, PL d according to ISO 13849-1, or Category 3 according to EN-954.
Refer to the AKD Installation Manual for more information.

Figure 4 shows the X1 connector pin assignment and wire colors.
Figure 4. AKD X1 Connector
2. Connect the cable X9 DSUB connector to the AKD servo drive X9 DSUB connector.
3. Connect the cable X8 10-pin connector to the AKD servo drive X8 10-pin connector.
Note You can use the X7 I/O connector for additional I/O but it is not used for
connection to the NI 9514 and NI 9516 drive interface modules.

Step 6: Connect the Motor and Encoder to the Drive
All Kollmorgen AKM servo motors available from NI come pre-wired for direct connection to
the AKD servo drive X2 motor connector and X10 feedback connector. Refer to Figure 6 for the
location of the connectors.
1. Connect the motor 6-pin connector to the AKD servo drive X2 motor connector.
Note The X2 connector also provides connection for the drive to control the +24 V
holding brake for motors that have a brake. Refer to the AKD Installation Manual for
information about using the holding brake.
2. Connect the motor DSUB feedback connector to the AKD servo drive X10 feedback
connector.
Figure 6. Motor and Encoder Connections
Step 7: Connect the AC Input Power
Connect the X3 mains supply connector to AC input power. Pins 4 through 7 contain the AC
power signals. The X3 connector also provides signals for an external brake (regen) resistor
(±RB) and DC bus link (-DC). Refer to the AKD Installation Manual for information about using
these terminals.
Note Do not turn on the AC power until after you complete Step 8: Connect the
Drive Communication section.

Figure 9. AC Input Power Single-Phase Connection
Step 8: Connect the Drive Communication
Complete the following steps to set up the drive for software configuration using Ethernet. These
steps assume you are connecting the AKD servo drive using a hub, switch, or router using
DHCP. If you cannot use DHCP, refer to the Connecting to the PC Using a Static IP section for
instructions about direct connection using a static IP address.
1. Set S1 and S2 on the drive to 0 to configure the drive for DHCP mode. The drive obtains
an IP address from an external DHCP server if one exists on the network. If no DHCP
server is present, the drive assumes an automatic private IP address in the form of
169.254.x.x. This process may take up to a minute to complete. Figure 2 shows the
locations of S1 and S2.
2. Connect the AKD servo drive X11 service port to a hub, switch, or router using an Ethernet
cable. Figure 10 shows the location of the X11 service port on the drive.

Step 9: Confirm Drive Connections
After all hardware connections have been made complete the following steps to confirm the
AKD hardware setup.
1. Apply AC power.
2. Turn on the +24 V power supply. After logic power is supplied to the drive, the drive
displays the following sequence of flashes in the LED indicators. Figure 2 shows the
location of the LED indicators on the AKD servo drive.
a. - -
b. [ ]
c. Drive IP address, flashed sequentially
d. Drive status, either current operation mode or the fault code if there is a fault
condition. The operation modes are as follows:
• o0—torque mode (current mode)
• o1—velocity mode
• o2—position mode
Note If the drive shows a fault code, click the Clear Faults button on the AKD
WorkBench software toolbar after you install the AKD WorkBench software in
Step 5: Install AKD WorkBench and Configure the Drive section and connect to the
drive to clear the fault state. If the fault reappears, refer to the AKD Fault and
Warning Messages Card that came with the drive for more information about the
fault, including possible solutions. After resolving the cause of the fault, click the
Clear Faults button on the toolbar again. Figure 17 shows the location of the Clear
Faults toolbar button in the AKD WorkBench software.

Getting Started with NI 9514/16 Modules and AKD Servo Drives |© National Instruments |19
elements of the system, use the Gain Tuning Panel to tune the control loop settings
and determine the relative stability of the servo axis. Refer to the Using the Gain
Tuning Panel topic in the NI SoftMotion Module book of the LabVIEW Help for

quadrature counts per revolution and must correspond to the AKD WorkBench
emulated encoder output Resolution setting in lines per revolution multiplied
by four. You may want to choose a different resolution depending on your
application needs. Changing this setting allows moves to be commanded in units
of revolutions per second.
Note You configure the emulated encoder output Resolution setting in Step 5:
