EtherCAT setup | Chase Motion Ltd

Test/Demo setup showing the TRIO FLEX-6 NANO EtherCAT Motion Coordinator with 2 Flexslice expansion modules (in this case for I/O) and two RTA EtherCAT stepper drives, the Flex-Drive MSE-408, 24-48Vdc 4A/phase, and the X-PLUS B4, direct on line 4A/phase, driving NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 stepper motors respectively

The TRIO FLEX-6 NANO EtherCAT Motion Coordinator offers up to 64 axes of motion. It can plug straight into the TRIO Flexslice expansion modules and the RTA Flex-Drive via an EBUS system. The Flexslice system makes available a selection of digital and analogue I/O modules as well as motion modules. Total slave connections to the FLEX-6 NANO can be up to 128 nodes including I/O and complex devices

The RTA EtherCAT drives are available in a number of voltage and current ratings.
