EC-Link is our custom designed EtherCAT configuration software. Easily setup and configure EtherCAT networks using a streamlined, reliable, and user-friendly interface.
Mach4 is the latest PC-based software solutions for CNC applications. When paired with the EC01, creates a state of the art CNC solution for machine-shop and industrial application.
The EC01 EtherCAT controller will support Mach4 Software via the reliable and proven Mach4 HiCON plugin. For the official production release, please refer to the "EC01 Support Files" section below.
Mach Software and EC01 setup:
Advanced and production applications can also benefit from these add-ons:
Motor Activations[1]: This software feature specifies how many motors the EC01 is able to control at one time. The base EC01 comes with 2 activated motors. This can be upgraded to 3, 4, 6, 8, or 12 at any time.
MACRO-PROGRAMMING[1]: This software feature allows the user to write custom programs (In C language)which can be downloaded to the controller for fast execution. Advantages of MACRO-PROGRAMMING Include:
7535 Board: The I/O Termination board (7535P or 7535N) provides additional optically isolated digital I/O. Each board has 16 input terminals and 8 output terminals. All I/O terminals are clearly marked for quick and easy installation.
