Industrial Applications

1. Compact servo-conveyor machine control

Use the controller to coordinate a small conveyor or indexing machine with synchronized axes and EtherCAT-based motion control.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the need for a separate motion controller while keeping deterministic multi-axis coordination in a compact cabinet footprint.

EtherCAT Master8 synchronous axes0.5 ms cycle timemotion control

2. Packaged machine with distributed I/O

Deploy in a machine with multiple remote I/O drops where the CJ I/O bus and 192-node remote I/O capacity simplify expansion.

Problem Solved

Reduces wiring complexity and supports modular machine scaling without changing the core controller.

3. Integrated automation cell with industrial networking

Apply in a cell that must exchange data with drives, HMIs, and upstream systems over EtherNet/IP while retaining motion capability.

Problem Solved

Provides a single CPU platform for deterministic motion plus plant-network integration without extra gateway hardware.
