The ME3 is a 3-axis, high-performance, DC-powered drive for position, velocity, and torque control of servo and stepper motors via EtherCAT. Using advanced FPGA technology, the ME3 provides a significant reduction in the cost per node in multi-axis EtherCAT systems. Each of the three axes in the ME3 operate as EtherCAT axes under DS-402 for motion control devices. Supported modes include: Cyclic Synchronous Position/Velocity/Torque, Profile Position-Velocity, Interpolated Position Mode (PVT), and Homing. Servo mode of steppers allows EtherCAT or digital PWM control of position/velocity/torque. In microstepping mode, stepper command pulses and master encoder for camming or gearing is supported.
