Standard EtherCAT slave controller SoC

The AX58200 is a 2/3-port EtherCAT slave controller SoC that integrates an EtherCAT slave controller (ESC) with an ARM Cortex-M4F and a DSP extension of up to 192MHz, along with two fast Ethernet PHYs. The AX58200 supports standard EtherCAT protocols such as CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE), File Access over EtherCAT (FoE), and Vendor Specific-protocol over EtherCAT (VoE), providing a cost-effective EtherCAT solution for industrial fieldbus applications including motion/motor/digital IO control, sensor data collection, robotics, and EtherCAT to IO-Link converters. The AX58200 comes in a 144-pin HSFBGA package measuring 10x10 mm with a 0.8mm pitch, compliant with RoHS, and supports an industrial-grade operating temperature range of -40 to 105°C.

Standard EtherCAT slave controller

The AX58100 provides two process data interfaces (PDI), a local bus slave and an SPI slave, supporting connections with the most common MCUs and DSPs in traditional non-EtherCAT fieldbus applications. The AX58100 offers two memory spaces, ESC and function, allowing designers to determine which chip to access using chip select. The bridge synchronizes the contents of the two memory spaces with the EtherCAT master and remotely controls the functions of the AX58100 (such as PWM and SPI master). The AX58100 reports ESC and function interrupt events to the interrupt status register and notifies the external MCU/DSP to manage these ESC and function interrupt events, supporting level or edge interrupt trigger modes. The AX58100 is available in an 80-pin LQFP with EPAD, compliant with RoHS, and supports an industrial-grade operating temperature range of -40 to 105°C.

In addition to a wide-range DC power input (12-48VDC), it supports input from two power supply lines and includes various managed functions for network management, control, and reliability enhancement.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
