Realtime Motion Control, PLC and CNC solutions with Ethernet Embedded Controller EoControl ExC66 with Powerlink

When it comes to real time-enabled PLC/motion or CNC solutions, ECKELMANN AG, Wiesbaden, relies on the advantages of the Ethernet Powerlink protocol and is supporting its swift introduction on the market as a fully fledged member of EPSG (Ethernet Powerlink Standardisation Group). ECKELMANN actively accelerated the fast implementation of Ethernet-based control solutions by developing its own hardware and software products.
The new EoControl ExC66 embedded controllers with a real time-enabled Ethernet interface constitute the interface to intelligent drives and, via the CAN bus, to decentralised field bus I/O modules, e.g. ECKELMANN's own EoFBM series. The ExC66 is equipped with the powerful MPC5200 controller from the PowerPC family and memory space that can be scaled specifically to the application. Enabled for Ethernet, it is the universal and future-oriented hardware platform both for PLC tasks (programmable with the PLC programming tool CoDeSys conforming to IEC 61131-3) and also for motion control solutions for the control of coordinated multiple-axis applications and for classical CNC contouring controls.
