EC-Link
EC-Link is our custom designed EtherCAT configuration software. Easily setup and configure EtherCAT networks using a streamlined, reliable, and user-friendly interface.
User Interface
EC-Link offers a feature-rich clean user interface to set up and configure your EtherCAT network.
ESI Files
Import ESI files to make setting up slave devices such as EtherCAT servos a simple task.
Slave Devices
Easily search and add EtherCAT Slave Devices found over the network. Select specific vendors to view slave devices from those vendors.
PDO Editor
Edit both Rx and Tx PDOs to configure communications over your EtherCAT network. Import objects from ESI files or custom design your own for full control.

Optional Components for ECS1 System
Advanced and production applications can also benefit from these add-ons:
ECS-4MTR Activation[1]: This software feature unlocks the use of 4 step/dir channels on the ECS1.
ECS-4ENC Activation[1]: This software feature unlocks the use of 4 encoder inputs on the ECS1.
ECAT-CLOOP Activation[1]: This software feature allows Closed-Loop operation on the EC01. Can be used with ECS1 as well. This feature requires ECS-4ENC on the ECS1
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.
