Multi-Axis with PDMM or PCMM

The AKD PDMM (integrated programmable controller and drive package) or PCMM (programmable controller) can be scaled to control additional drives w/ motors and I/O devices via EtherCATClosedEtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs. This configuration can manage up to 32 axes.
