Kollmorgen Essentials Drive: Plug In. Power Up. Perform.

Essentials Drive: Plug In. Power Up. Perform.

The Kollmorgen Essentials™ Drive delivers unmatched flexibility and

speed for modern machine builders. With universal connectivity—

including EtherCAT®, PROFINET®, and EtherNet/IP™—in a single drive,

it seamlessly integrates with Kollmorgen Automation Suite and most

Industrial Ethernet controllers.

Built-in synchronization capabilities via EtherCAT, CIP Sync and PROFINET

IRT ensure precise, coordinated motion across multi-axis systems, ideal for

packaging and material handling applications.

Designed for rapid deployment, the drive supports simplified installation

and maintenance with single-cable feedback via SFD-M, DC bus sharing for

energy efficiency as well as reduced wiring complexity and commissioning

in under 20 minutes using our intuitive Express Setup layout and Quick

Tune functionality within our industry-best Workbench software.

Essentials Means Unparalleled Connectivity

Kollmorgen Essentials Drive

Kollmorgen’s Essentials Drive includes all of the performance

described previously, and is optimized to interface to a single

connector motor with Kollmorgen’s Smart Feedback Device

options (SFD-M or SFD3)

Multi-Protocol Support

No need to find the correct communication protocol option

for your machine! All Essentials drives support multiple

communication protocols out of the box. Just select between

EtherNet/IP CIP Sync, EtherCAT or PROFINET IRT during setup.

Super-fast setup

Get your application up and running in 20 minutes or less

with Kollmorgen’s Express Setup layout within WorkBench, a

simple, graphical configuration tool for PC that supports you

throughout the entire commissioning process.

Versatile I/O

Each Kollmorgen Essentials Drive offers two fast digital inputs

with <1 µs reaction time, which can also be utilized for a

secondary, incremental feedback solution. Two standard digital

inputs and outputs are also built-in.

STO

Safety is always essential!

All Essentials drives come equipped with the certified safety

function Safe Torque Off (STO), up to SIL 2 / PL d.

Essentials Motor: One Motor, Endless Possibilities

The Kollmorgen Essentials™ Motor is engineered for versatility,

performance, and simplicity. Featuring integrated SFD-M multi-turn

absolute feedback and a universal IEC mount with an adaptable shaft

option, it empowers machine builders to streamline inventory and

reduce complexity.

When paired with the Essentials Drive, a single platform can address

up to 12 configuration needs—eliminating costly downtime waiting

for specialized products and reducing part variability by 90%. With

plug-and-play commissioning via onboard memory in the feedback

device, and a single-cable design, installation is effortless.

Available in power ranges from 200W to 4000W and speeds up to

6000 rpm, this motor is built to meet global demands in the packaging,

material handling, and factory automation markets—reliably and efficiently.
