[Technical tips] Start Guides for QEC-M-01 and NPM PULSERVOII & EC-AD Series

ICOP Technology Inc. is excited to introduce new technical guides to help engineers and system integrators get started with QEC‑M‑01 (EtherCAT MDevice) in combination with NPM PULSERVOII and NPM EtherCAT Series Servo Drivers for real-time, high-performance motion control.

To better support semiconductor, electronics, and industrial automation industries, this guide provides a step-by-step setup process, practical code examples, and integration tips to help you maximize the performance of your EtherCAT-based motion control applications.

Highlights of the New Guide

The QEC‑M‑01 is a compact and powerful EtherCAT MDevice equipped with a real-time multitasking architecture and integrated development tools. Powered by the open-source 86Duino IDE, it offers a simple yet powerful development platform for automation.

It enables precise and responsive control in demanding motion systems when paired with NPM PULSERVOII and EC-AD Series products under the CiA402—Profile Position (PP) Mode.

NPM PULSERVOII and EC-AD Series Drivers are EtherCAT-compatible closed-loop motor control solutions designed for high precision and stability. The PULSERVOII series combines the benefits of stepper motors with encoder feedback to eliminate missed steps, providing smooth and reliable motion control. The EC-AD Series supports CiA402 with Distributed Clock (DC) synchronization as fast as 250 μs, delivering accurate multi-axis coordination.

Both drivers are compact, highly responsive, and ideal for:

• High-Speed Assembly Systems: Ensure accurate positioning and stability in automated arms and inspection stages.
• Precision Equipment: Deliver smooth acceleration, deceleration, and origin operations for CNC machines and semiconductor tools.

Advantages of the Start Guides
