EtherCAT Stepper Motor
Product Overview
The Adampower EtherCAT stepper motor is an advanced integrated motion control solution featuring real-time EtherCAT communication for high-speed industrial automation. EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is one of the fastest industrial Ethernet protocols, providing cycle times as low as 100µs with extremely low jitter, making it ideal for demanding applications in semiconductor manufacturing, electronics assembly, packaging, and precision machining.
This integrated stepper motor combines motor, driver, encoder, and EtherCAT communication interface in a single housing, eliminating the need for external drives and complex cabling. The CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT) protocol support enables seamless integration with standard EtherCAT masters from Beckhoff, Omron, Panasonic, and other major PLC manufacturers.
The EtherCAT stepper motor supports all standard CiA 402 drive profile modes including Profile Position Mode, Profile Velocity Mode, Homing Mode, and Interpolated Position Mode. The built-in 1000-line encoder provides closed-loop position feedback, while the EtherCAT network ensures synchronization across multiple axes for coordinated motion control.
