E-MCC Series
EtherCAT universal motor controllers / drives
About This Series
Zaber’s E-MCC motor controllers bring Zaber’s stages into the EtherCAT ecosystem. These 1-3 axis controllers have plug-and-play functionality with Zaber’s peripheral stages, including hundreds of linear stages, rotary stages, and many more. Thanks to autodetect functionality, no configuration is required to get Zaber actuators up and running with the E-MCC.
The CANopen CiA 402 drive profile allows seamless communication with almost any EtherCAT master at cycle rates up to 1 kHz. Distributed clocks functionality provides precise synchronization with the entire EtherCAT network, enabling complex multi-axis applications and synchronization with other third-party devices. Setup is a breeze: plug in your stage, plug in your favorite EtherCAT master, and start moving!
The E-MCC can also control a wide variety of third-party axes. Thanks to advanced 10 kHz control algorithms, the E-MCC can smoothly control stepper motors with currents up to 6 amps. Our free advanced hardware setup tool makes configuring third-party devices straightforward.
