EtherCAT PLC Integration

Minimize Integration Effort with EtherCAT-based PLCs

EtherCAT is widely recognized as the fastest Industrial Ethernet technology. For high-tech OEM machine builders employing EtherCAT-based PLCs, ACS offers select SPiiPlus motion controllers with comprehensive EtherCAT slave functionality. These products can connect to any EtherCAT master PLC as a DS402 CoE multi-axis slave drive node. Leveraging advanced network bridge technology, the ACS controller also operates simultaneously as an EtherCAT master, capable of controlling any products within the SPiiPlus Platform.
