EtherCAT-Based Motion Systems
Deterministic, sub-millisecond EtherCAT motion networks with clean diagnostics.
EtherCAT-Based Motion Systems
EtherCAT is our preferred motion backbone — sub-millisecond cycle times, distributed-clock synchronization across slaves and excellent diagnostics. We design and deploy EtherCAT motion systems for packaging, printing, converting and assembly machines.
Topology, slave grouping and distributed-clock configuration are chosen for the jitter, hot-connect and safety needs of the application — not as a one-size-fits-all template.
We work with Beckhoff TwinCAT, Omron Sysmac, Keyence KV-XH and other EtherCAT-class controllers, and integrate cleanly with FSoE for safety functions on the same bus.
Capabilities included
- Cycle times down to 250 µs
- Distributed-clock synchronization across drives
- Beckhoff TwinCAT, Omron Sysmac and others
- FSoE safety integrated on the same bus
- Hot-connect groups and topology design
How we engage
We work as an extension of your engineering team — from initial scoping through commissioning, training and post-handover support.
Every deliverable ships with documented source code, electrical drawings and an operator/maintenance manual so your team owns the machine, not the integrator.
Topology design
Slave layout, groups and DC-master strategy planned.
Drive selection
Servo class, encoders and safety profile chosen.
Bring-up
Network configured, jitter and DC verified.
Sign-off
Cycle-time and following-error traces archived.
Deterministic
EtherCAT cycles down to 250 µs for tight sync.
Clean topology
Hot-connect groups and distributed clocks done right.
Integrated safety
FSoE on the same bus, fewer cables.
Better diagnostics
CRC and lost-frame analytics out of the box.
