Q.series EC C101 EtherCAT-based Multi-axis Servo Controller

For Mechanical Testing, Motion Simulation and Automation Solutions Measurement and control specialist Gantner Instruments extends its Q.series product family with the Q.series EC C101, an EtherCAT-based module for multi-axis closed-loop control of servo hydraulic, pneumatic or electric systems. The module is designed for test, simulation and automation system integrators in the fields of automotive & transportation, aerospace, energy and civil engineering. Now system integrators can benefit from market-leading control performance, combined with a common, highly integrable platform for control...

■ Control on Module The control loop runs locally on the C101 module instead of on a central processor. Due to its powerful internal computer, very fast response times are achievable with loop frequency of up to 20 kHz per control channel. ■ Scalable Multi-axis Control Solution The C101 modules can easily be grouped together and connected to the EtherCAT network using the Q.series Bus Coupler module. Because of the Control on Module design there is no performance penalty when connecting multiple modules together, even when distributed over longer distances for installation close to the servo...
