EtherCAT Master Software

Speed Up Development Time with NexECM

EtherCAT communication technology has become increasingly popular due to its open nature, low hardware cost, high speed, and precision. As a result, more and more automation equipment suppliers are adopting this technology.

EtherCAT communication technology utilizes a master-slave architecture, where a controller typically serves as the master side, and each distributed device, such as I/O modules and servo motors, functions as EtherCAT slaves. Nexcobot has introduced NEXECM, an EtherCAT master stack library that fully complies with the EtherCAT standard. Through NEXECM, users can quickly develop controllers with EtherCAT communication capabilities to meet industrial application requirements. The advantages of NEXECM are summarized as follows:

• Standardization: NEXECM is developed according to EtherCAT standard ETG.1500. Moreover, The ESI (ETG.2000) EtherCAT slave information files and ENI (ETG.2100) EtherCAT network information file are fully supported.

• Highly integrated: NexCOBOT (Nexcom group) is a professional hardware platform provider; therefore the NEXECM can be optimized to fit into all hardware platforms. The most important is we can provide single service window for both hardware and software problems to get rid of integrated troubles.

• Fast Time to market: We provide a fast Time to Market solution for real-time EtherCAT master applications, supporting both Windows and Linux systems. Our solution comes with comprehensive APIs and development documentation, along with an intuitive user interface (NexECM Studio) for ease of use.

• High-quality Services: Professional EtherCAT development team can provide products training and technical service.
