ICP DAS ECAT-M801 EtherCAT PCIe module

The ECAT-M801 from ICP DAS is an EtherCAT PCIe module that provides motion control up to 32 axes, connectivity with up to 64 slave nodes, and SDO + PDO slave operation.

It can provide multi-axis motion and I/O control functions via its own in-built CPU to reduce the load placed on the corresponding PC for maximum computational efficiency. It is also capable of multi-axis linear interpolation, 2D/3D interpolation and helical interpolation. 13 DI and 13 DO are included, as are two onboard encoder interfaces with compare trigger output.

APIs are provided for CiA402 servo drives and ICP DAS stepper motor control modules.

Modules from the ECAT-M801 line are compatible with both slaves from ICP DAS and EtherCAT slaves from third-party sources.
