ATB Automation & EtherCAT: projecten and applications

ATB Automation is a member of the EtherCAT Technology Group. Our team of application engineers provides adequate technical support, training, programming and delivery of complete projects. They often use EtherCAT as a fieldbus between controllers and the control system.

EtherCAT means high reliability, effectiveness and flexibility with high dynamics and accuracy!

Several stepper motor and servo drive suppliers of ATB Automation are standardized on EtherCAT.
Trio Motion Technology is used as control system. In addition, the team also has experience with other operating systems such as TwinCAT (Beckhoff) and CodeSys.

EtherCAT Technology Group

The EtherCAT Technology Group keeps EtherCAT technology open to all potential users. It brings together manufacturers of EtherCAT devices, technology providers and users to further develop the technology. It offers multiple technical working groups where experts carefully work on different specific aspects of EtherCAT. All these activities are aimed at one common goal: to keep the system stable and interoperable. That is why there is only one version of EtherCAT and not a new version every year.

IAI Industrial Robots

Founded in Japan in 1976, IAI Corporation has grown to become a global leader in electromechanical actuators and robots. IAI is a leader in pick-and-place and assembly systems in the automotive and electronics industry.

The program includes :

  • Linear actuators with slide
  • linear actuator
  • Industrial grabs
  • Cartesian Robots
  • Scara Robots

All drives are powered by 24V steppers, 24V bldc servo motors or 230V ac servo motors.

All actuators can be controlled with the RCON controller, a modular positioning controller to which a maximum of 16 actuators and drives can be connected. These can be the 24V stepper, 24V bldc servo or 230V ac servo drives. The RCON controller is suitable for drive-based and control-based control via EtherCAT from a higher-level controller.
