3rd Party EtherCAT Drive and Device Control
Leverage Control System Flexibility to Integrate 3rd Party EtherCAT Products 

EtherCAT gives OEM machine builders the flexibility to select the best products and suppliers for their machines. Unlike proprietary-network-based controllers, ACS SPiiPlus EtherCAT master motion controllers allow direct control of 3rd party EtherCAT drives supporting DS402 CoE protocol and other 3rd party EtherCAT devices with standard ACSPL+ and host library commands. 3rd party EtherCAT products may require qualification. Please, contact ACS to discuss your device and application requirements.
