Industrial network automation

EtherCAT
in packaging machines

Machine design challenge: a greater accuracy with less raw materials to be consumed.

Requirements: precise process cycles, synchronized processes, motion control sequences with shorter cycle times. EtherCAT-based control is the right response to the challenge.

Hardware

koenig-pa GmbH offers EtherCAT boards to integrate EtherCAT network in different systems and other networks.
