Demo Box: Compact EtherCAT Controller for Precise Synchronized Motion Control

The Demo Box features two high-speed motors that rotate synchronously, with a pencil lead placed between them that remains unbroken. This is achieved through the real-time capabilities of EtherCAT, which offers a cycle time of up to 500 µs, ensuring high-speed and accurate multi-axis control.

Hello everyone, I’m Nick. Today, I’m excited to introduce you to the EtherCAT demo box from Advantech. In this demo, we’ll showcase how EtherCAT technology enables precise multi-axis motion control and synchronized high-speed rotation. Let’s start with the highlights. The demo box features two high-speed motors that rotate synchronously, with a pencil lead placed between them that remains unbroken. This precise synchronization is achieved through the real-time capabilities of EtherCAT, which offers a cycle time of up to 500 microsecond, ensuring high-speed and accurate multi-axis control. The control architecture of this demo box is built around the AMAX compact automation controller, paired with AMAX-5000 series I/O expansion modules. The system also includes the WOP-200K series operator panel for HMI display. This design provides excellent scalability and flexibility, allowing for easy expansion with various digital/analog I/O modules, encoders/counters, and communication interfaces. Next, let’s move on to the operation demonstration. Using EtherCAT control technology, you can adjust the rotation speed in real-time and observe how the pencil lead remains intact even at high speeds. This feature highlights EtherCAT’s outstanding performance in high-precision synchronous control. Thank you for watching this introduction. If you’re interested in learning more about our motion control solutions, please feel free to contact us. We’d be happy to provide you with more detailed information. Thanks again for watching, and see you next time!
