ADLINK Technology Inc. introduced two modules in the 6-CH EU Series digital I/O—the ECAT-4XMO motion control and trigger module, and the ECAT-TRG4 trigger modules. The new modules are a dynamic extension to ADLINK's EtherCAT System and are designed to complement the EU Series, enabling higher performance in automatic assembly, test and inspection equipment across a multitude of applications including cellphone glass inspection, battery cell assembly, camera lens assembly and test- and-glue-dispensing machinery, as well as inspection equipment, per ADLINK. The ECAT-4XMO motion-control and trigger module is a 4-channel control and high-speed trigger module that connects to both EtherCAT and non-EtherCAT motors, including stepper motors, linear motors, direct drive and AC.
