![RTOS\nDAQ\nVISION\nHYPervisor\nWindows\nWindows\nADLINK](.20260413-2171cff9-3df/f6f7f878ee1a1709184d8f8c352419c60845aa0f1b5017d6a955db4e3ca62f9a.jpg)

# Highlights

• Software-Defined Integration: Consolidates motion control, PLC, and PC computing into one platform, efficiently upgrading traditional IPCs into dedicated smart manufacturing controllers
• Real-Time Performance: Powered by SuperCAT RTOS to manage up to 128 axes @1ms, running high-performance algorithms for precise, time-deterministic process control
• Rapid Deployment & Debugging: Features the Windows-compliant MotionCreatorPro 2, empowering users to easily diagnose process issues through comprehensive API and EtherCAT kernel logs

# Key Features

• CiA402 EtherCAT compliant: Supports line, star, and tree topologies
• Flexible configuration: Configurable CPU cores and interfaces (LAN, COM, USB) for both RTOS and Windows
• Dual Master Support: Dual EtherCAT Masters with DC synchronization
• High-precision contouring: Built-in 2D/3D error compensation
• Advanced semiconductor control: Customizable soft-landing via position, velocity, and torque control for bonding, sorting, and probing
• Simplified debugging: Built-in API and kernel logs for easy maintenance
• Hardware-free simulation: Rapid development and testing via simulated axes and I/O
• Flexible machine modularization: User-defined I/O mapping and addressing
• Real-time processing: Executes user algorithms; synchronizes tasks with the EtherCAT cycle in RTOS
• Modulo encoder support: Optimized for coating processes and AOI alignment
