Soft Servo Systems now offers its general motion control and CNC products with the popular and proven EtherCAT interface system (visit: http:\/\/www.softservo.com\/EtherCAT.php?catID=2&subID=11): a fast, vendor-independent, Ethernet-based realtime network for servo and I\/O communications that works with CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE) servo drives and I\/O devices. <\/p>\n
With this system, RJ45 Ethernet cables are plugged directly into the Ethernet port on the PC, and servo drives are connected in a simple, single-line daisy-chain – no hardware is required, not even a terminator. Up to 32 servo drives (plus additional I\/O stations) can be integrated in one network.<\/p>\n
The EtherCAT interface system is fast, with an interpolation rate of 0.5 ms. There are no delays in gateways, and there are no underlying sub-systems. Its simplified configuration and standard cabling, as well as the elimination of adapter cards, switches and hubs, make this a very economical system, both in terms of initial cost and in terms of maintenance.<\/p>\n
Corporate Profile<\/p>\n
Soft Servo Systems, the leading provider of PC-based motion control products, was founded in February 1998 by MIT professionals with funding from private investors.<\/p>\n
Soft Servo Systems was among the first to develop a truly PC-based servo controller in which a single, powerful host computer, combined with FPGA technology, performs all real-time servo control operations. Our products integrate and leverage this servo control with the most advanced information and communication technologies. In addition to handling feedback loops, multi-axis coordination and NC path generation, the computer also provides the graphical user interface, data processing, plant monitoring, network communication, file management, and more.<\/p>\n
Soft Servo Systems’ soft motion and soft CNC products are based on our unique and proprietary software technology that fully exploits the ever-improving CPUs in personal computers to give customers superior CNC\/motion control performance. Soft motion technology eliminates the need for a motion control coprocessor card. The multi-axis servo loops are entirely closed in the CPU and provide extremely fast and accurate motion control. The end result is a highly flexible, low cost control system, with exceptional features that traditional PC-based controllers (still requiring motion control boards) cannot provide.<\/p>\n
Soft Servo Systems’ CNC and general motion control products run on Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows XPe, with a real-time kernel. The open architecture of our core soft motion technology minimizes hardware, connections, and setup requirements, thereby maximizing scalability and customizability for CNC and motion control systems.<\/p>\n
Soft Servo Systems, Inc. offers high-performing, innovative, and affordable motion control solutions to high-volume OEMs in the machine tool, factory automation and general motion control industries. Let Soft Servo Systems’ PC-based motion control help you to achieve the ultimate flexibility and intelligence in building your CNC or motion control system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
