Are you tired of the trade-offs you have had to make in the past, such as distance for speed, precision for ease-of-use, number of devices for performance, etc.? Omron Industrial Automation has recently introduced EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) - the premier machine control network that delivers unparalleled network performance (can update 40 axis in 276 microseconds) using standard Ethernet cables.
No routers, no switches, no hubs....EtherCAT is capable of Line, Star, Ring topologies; 100 meters between nodes; and possible expansion at each node all contribute to maximum network flexibility for machine design. EtherCAT delivers nearly double the performance of the closest network competitor.
Distributed clock synchronization - with the distributed clock system, all servos in an EtherCAT application can be synchronized within a microsecond tolerance.
EtherCAT is now available to achieve your highest expectations on precision, performance and consistency. The network will not be the bottleneck of your next machine design. Choices include an integrated scalable PLC platform or a stand-alone version for machine control.
Complete and compact machine controller - logic and motion control integrated in the CJ2 PLC platform. Control of 16 axes; positioning with linear and circular interpolation.
- scalable and modular solution
- simplified programming
- precise motion functionality made simple
- one machine network
