Powerful Motion Controller and EtherCAT® Network Manager ACS Controller
EtherCAT Master Motion Controller
The SPiiPlusEC is designed to meet the needs of OEMs with demanding multi-axis motion control applications. It leverages powerful application development capabilities and profile generation algorithms to reduce time to market and maximize motion system performance. It can control ACS products in the SPiiPlus Motion Control Platform and 3rd party EtherCAT devices, providing flexibility for the motion control system designer.
1 or 2 Axis Universal Drive Module
The UDMnt is designed to meet the needs of OEMs with demanding multi-axis motion control applications. Controllable by any ACS SPiiPlus Platform EtherCAT master, it leverages powerful servo control algorithms to maximize motion system performance. At the same time, its universal servo drive technology allows the system designer to control almost any type of motor or stage
