EtherCAT Motion Controllers
EtherCAT motion controllers are multi-axis controllers that manage servo drives and remote I/O modules simultaneously over a real-time EtherCAT network; they are chosen according to the number of axes, synchronization time, license type and digital input-output structure. They are used in packaging and cutting lines, on CNC machines and in robot cells, in applications that require synchronization between axes. The category includes Delta Electronics AX-5, AX-8 and AX-C coded models and DVP50MC models; the product data shows axis counts such as 8, 16, 32 and 128, and the product names show synchronization times of 0.5 ms and 1 ms. The names of the AX-8 models state the Windows 10 IoT or Linux operating system and the Motion, Motion CNC or Motion CNC Robotic license; the digital outputs are NPN or PNP type depending on the model. For models with the PTP designation next to the axis count, check the synchronous axis capacity in the manufacturer data. EtherCAT motion controllers must not be confused with CANopen motion controllers; a drive without an EtherCAT port cannot be connected to this network.
