Wondering how to build large control systems and integrate IONI, ATOMI or ARGON as part of them? Wonder no more, EtherFOX brings the awesomeness into Ethernet and EtherCAT networks. One EtherFox acts as a multi-axis bridge between a standard Ethernet or EtherCAT network and a SimpleMotion network.
One EtherFox can control up to 10 SimpleMotion enabled drives in real time and synchronous pace. As bonus, the EtherFox adds also several general purpose inputs and outputs at your disposal.
