The easiest way to use the EtherCAT AKD with SoftMotion is to handle all tuning parameters through Kollmorgen WorkBench. By default, SoftMotion uses the tuning parameters stored on the drive, so there is no need for tuning through SoftMotion. Whether in Profile Velocity mode (using the axis's Write Velocity Setpoint method) or Cyclic Synchronous Position mode (when using normal SoftMotion position moves), SoftMotion is sending setpoints to the drive, and it is taking care of the control loops.
To answer your question directly: there is no Gain Tuning Panel option available with EtherCAT axes. Only 950x and 951x modules are usable with the Gain Tuning Panel.

Hi Karl,
Thanks for your reply.
As you told, I'm using the axis' Write Velocity Setpoint method to send command to the drive, to which the drive responds at once. Image attached.
Here I was trying to make a smooth curve response.
