Delta Motion announced the addition of EtherCAT MainDevice capability to its RMC200 Motion Controller for connecting to and controlling any devices needed for high- performance hydraulic and electric motion control in industrial applications. The RMC200 can handle up to 50 axes of position and pressure control and supports any combination of directly connected and EtherCAT I/O. For example, on machines incorporating both hydraulic and electric motion, users may choose EtherCAT-enabled drives for electric axes, paired with traditional directly connected servo-proportional valves and feedback sensors for the hydraulic axes.
