Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main advantage of this module?
It combines a full-featured PLC with powerful multi-axis motion control in one compact unit.
How many axes can I control in total?
You can control 4 axes via EtherCAT and additional axes using the high-speed pulse outputs.
Can beginners program this controller?
Yes. The support for Ladder Diagram (LD) makes it accessible for technicians new to programming.
What if I need more digital inputs later?
Simply add standard I/O expansion modules to the right side of the CPU. It supports up to 31 modules.
How reliable is it in a noisy factory?
Very reliable. It has industrial-grade EMC protection. Always use the recommended shielded cables for communication.
Is training available for this product?
Yes. We provide detailed manuals and online tutorial videos. Contact our support for specific training inquiries.
From experience, what is the first thing to check if communication fails?
First, verify the network cable connection and the IP address settings. Then, check the status LEDs on the EtherCAT port.
Any tip for faster project startup?
Use the pre-built function blocks for common tasks like homing and gear coupling. This saves significant development time.
