The 0.5 ms cycle time, built-in EtherCAT, and 16-axis capability fit coordinated packaging machines with synchronized servos, feeders, and cutters.
Eliminates coordination lag in tightly synchronized motion systems.
Database connection support with 20 MB program memory makes it suitable for machines that must exchange production records, IDs, or recipe data with enterprise systems.
Provides direct machine-to-database integration without an external gateway controller.
The 2,560-point I/O capacity, 40 expansion units, and 192 remote I/O nodes suit modular machines with many sensors, valves, and distributed I/O blocks.
Supports large I/O counts while preserving a single deterministic control platform.
