Galil's multi-axis motion controllers with EtherCAT interface(IEC standard 61158) offer high performance and flexibility for your application. With a DMC-52xx0 as the master, up to 32 EtherCAT controllers can be controlled. A digital servo controller such as the EDD-3701x or other compatible devices can be used for this purpose.
Alternatively, the DMC-500x0 supports up to a maximum of 8 axes in mixed operation. This means that you can directly connect up to 4 servo axes locally via an internal or external servo controller. The DMC controls additional axes via EtherCAT.
With the RIO-574x0 module, you can add PLC functions and additional inputs and outputs to the network.
