[Technical tips] Start Guides for QEC-M-01 and SANYO DENKI SANMOTION G Series (CSP / PP)

ICOP Technology Inc. is pleased to share new technical start guides to help engineers and system integrators get started with QEC-M-01 (EtherCAT MDevice) in combination with SANYO DENKI SANMOTION G servo amplifiers (EtherCAT) for real-time, high-performance motion control.

These guides provide a step-by-step setup process, practical coding examples, and integration tips, covering both CiA 402 CSP (Cyclic Synchronous Position) and PP (Profile Position) modes, so you can accelerate bring-up and reduce engineering time.

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 SANMOTION G servo Series products under the CiA402 CSP and PP Mode.

SANMOTION G (Why SANMOTION G?)

SANMOTION G is designed for compact, lightweight, and energy-saving AC servo applications, enabling high-speed/high-precision control and improved productivity and machining quality.

Key feature highlights:

• Speed frequency response up to 3.5 kHz (1.6× vs. conventional) via newly developed current control.
• Shorter positioning stabilization time (5.5 ms, ~1/3 of conventional) by friction/gravity detection & compensation.
• Max motor speed increased to 6500 min⁻¹ (from 6000 min⁻¹) and expanded output range.
• High-resolution encoder: 23-bit standard, up to 27-bit optional for high accuracy and stable positioning.
• Reliability & maintainability enhancements: remaining brake life estimation, surge current limit optimization, power monitoring, and EtherCAT communication quality diagnostics.

For EtherCAT users, SANMOTION G provides EtherCAT interface amplifiers (example: a 2-axis model lists Interface = EtherCAT). For detailed information, please refer to SANMOTION G series.

Advantages of the Start Guides

• Step-by-step setup guide:
  Wiring, EtherCAT network bring-up, and recommended parameter checklist.
• Programming examples (CSP / PP):
  Practical code snippets and control flow examples to help you implement motion quickly.
• Integration tips & troubleshooting:
  Notes for typical field issues (drive enable sequence, alarm handling, EtherCAT quality checks, etc.).
