Overview
In the manufacturing industry, following the globalization of the supply chain, there has been a demand for a revolution in production and services using IoT*. With that backdrop, we are working on the automation of systems, focusing mainly on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), which control various plant facility devices, and IPCs (industrial PCs), which are responsible for gathering data from plant facility devices and communicating with servers and other higher level information systems* IoT: Internet of Thing
EtherCAT® Motion Control
- Controls multiple axes and I/O using EtherCAT®
(Various EtherCAT® slave devices such as Hitachi AC Servo ADV series) - Supports function blocks for PLC open compliant motion control
Supports programming languages compatible with IEC61131-3 international standards
Supports data login using SD memory
Sensor and actuator control
(Various sensors and actuators including Hitachi inverters)
OPC-UA for communication with higher level information systems
ERP linkage, MES connection, SCADA system connection, etc.
Supports information communications
Ethernet (TCP/IP), IP communications, web support, etc.
Connection with various control equipment and HMI
Field network support
(Partially combined use with dedicated master modules)
Features
3 Ethernet ports are standard (Full function model, CNC motion model)
- Standard model and Motion model are 2 Ethernet ports
Integrates core control and communications of automated machines and production facilities
OPC-UA has soft interface standards between industrial equipment and the OPC-UA server function is standard (for all models)
Supporting programming languages compatible with IEC61131-3 international standards (for all models)

CPU modules that can be selected to cater to your applications
SD card for large capacity data logging (Full function model, CNC motion model)
The SD card can be mounted on the CPU model, which makes it possible to easily log the data generated on the site (Function blocks for file access are available.)
EtherCAT® master & SoftMotion (The EtherCAT® master function is incorporated into all models; the SoftMotion function is incorporated into the Motion model and CNC motion model.)
The EtherCAT® master function and motion control function are incorporated into the LAN port of the CPU module. A combined use of an EtherCAT® slave beside servo is possible (inverters, IO terminals, and so on.)
Supporting function blocks for PLC open compliant motion control (Motion model, CNC motion model)
From PTP positioning with a single axis and interpolation control and synchronization control of electronic cam to speed control and torque control, various functions are possible through the combined use of FBs.
Reduction in maintenance costs (all models)
No fan
The mechanical mechanism for consumables is not adopted for CPU modules.
No Battery
Nonvolatile memory is adopted for program memory and data memory. Machine production records are stored without batteries. Even if power is turned off due to the unexpected outage, important programs and data will be protected.
- To maintain calendar and clock data, batteries are required.
Flexibly extendable structure by adopting plug-in type modules
Functions can be extended using various modules from the reliable and proven EH-150/EHV series (digital input and output, analog input and output, and various function modules.)
Protecting machine production and information
Unauthorized access will be prevented and your machine information will be protected when a connection is made to networks.
Prevention of unauthorized external access
- Prevention and detection of unauthorized external packets
- Prevention of unauthorized remote log-ins
- Prevention of the provision of information and functions to attackers
Prevention of unauthorized external access
- Login authentication, user and group management, access
Creating a library for dedicated functions (non-display)
Online user registration
Access rights settings
User management
Monitoring with a web browser (Web Visualization)
t is possible to have access to the web server of the controller with a generic web browser without preparing the dedicated HMI and a monitor. This reduces dedicated terminals for monitoring and creates burdens on the workers.
- Comes standard in the web server
- No need for dedicated HMI
- Monitoring with a generic web browser
- Remote maintenance, diagnosis, and control
