Mini-EtherCAT master
13 January 2014
Trio Motion’s MC4N-Mini EtherCAT dedicated controller can handle up to 32 axes of servo or stepper drives and 1024 machine I/O points.

The MC4N-ECAT’s built-in expandable library of EtherCAT digital drives and I/O modules allow systems to be automatically detected and configured in a plug and play way that is not usually available for this open and increasingly popular protocol.
Featuring an updated configuration of the 532MHz ARM 11 processor, the ultra-fast MC4N-ECAT includes 64-bit integer position registers for extremely high resolution and precision accuracy - making it ideal for high axis count tightly coordinated machines or robotic applications.
