A New Platform for Machine Control

ONE Controller ONE Software ONE Connection


MAC Recap

• MAC comparisons to existing

controllers

• System synchronization when

controlling up to 64 axes with a

single MAC

• MAC applications in robotics,

packaging and material

handling

One Purpose for

Machine Automation


What is ?

1. EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology)

2. EtherCAT is an open Ethernet-based fieldbus standard,

utilizing IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet standard) components

3. The EtherCAT slave device has dedicated EtherCAT

hardware, available as a dedicated chip with embedded

switch

EtherCAT: Real-time optimum Industrial Ethernet Protocol

for controlling Servo, AC Drives and I/Os



• Fast, reliable, Ethernet

based system driven by

industry needs

• 1µs repeatability from

distributed clock ensures

alignment of machine

design and functionality

requirements

Real-time Network



• EtherCAT: The Fieldbus Network

◦ Fast and efficient

Processing On-The-Fly

Suitable for small data quantities

◦ Real-time synchronized

Distributed Clocks with < 1 usec jitter

Determinism need to control servo, ac drive & I/O devices

◦ Open and flexible

Follows international standards

Dynamic Process data

Topology options

◦ Cost-effective

Makes internet technologies available at the device level

Diagnosis

Distributed Clock

Synchronization



• Industrial tough EtherNet/IP driven by

industry needs

• Open network connectivity ensures

alignment of machine design and

functionality requirements

Cross-Core Technology Vital Statistics

• Industry: Printing

• Customer Type: OEM, US Florida

• Distributor: Cross Automation

• Application: Synchronous feed control indexing,

modular machine starts as 1 servo and 1 inverter axis,

then add station modules for all configurations. Transport

of card from feeder to the collation conveyor. Additional

modules would be slave transport, print, barcode and id.

• Automation Vendors Evaluated: Lenze Servo/Drive,

Yaskawa, Allen Bradley
