SuperCAT

EtherCAT SoftMotion Controller

  • Key Features
  • Enhanced computing power and ultra-low system latency ensure superior motion execution performance
  • Supports 125μs EtherCAT control cycle, up to 128 devices synchronous motion control
  • Real-time performance guaranteed with verification by ADLINK computing platforms
  • ADLINK Soft-motion framework (user task) in RTOS for user motion process execution
  • ADLINK RTOS development environment for user program execution
  • Dual-master supported for independent cycle times and load balancing

 


ADLINK SuperCAT is an EtherCAT SoftMotion controller capable of supporting up to 128 synchronized axes and over 10,000 points simultaneously. SuperCAT fully supports ADLINK EtherCAT subdevices for high-speed trigger, latch, I/O, and pulse train motion control, designed for laser and semiconductor applications. It features a built-in software trigger and latch function operating at up to 4 kHz for applications such as AOI, dispensing, and EMS manufacturing. Optimal jitter control is achieved with minimal cycles of 125μs, enhancing synchronous I/O performance for vertical automation applications in the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing industries, among others.

SuperCAT provides an off-the-shelf application-ready (APS) function library to generate multi-dimensional, highly synchronized, time-deterministic event-triggered motion and I/O control. A wide range of compatible third-party subdevices can be easily controlled using ADLINK's APS function library. ADLINK's Motion Creator Pro 2™ utility is fully compliant with the Microsoft® Windows™ environment, allowing comprehensive EtherCAT motion and I/O configuration, function evaluation, and process download functions.
