XPLC006E   is a kind of multi-axis economical EtherCAT bus motion controller developed by ZMotion Technology, and XPLC series motion controllers can be applied in all kinds of occasions that need offline or online operation.

XPLC006E has 6 motor axes itself, and motion control of 12 axes at most can be achieved (including virtual axes). Also, it supports 12-axis linear interpolation, electronic cam, electronic gear, synchronous follow, virtual axis setting, etc.

In addition, XPLC006E cost-effective controller supports multi-task run synchronously. At the same time, it can do simulation on PC directly. There are several valid programming methods, such as, Basic / PLC ladder diagram / HMI configuration in ZDevelop software and commonly used upper computer software.

For PC upper computer API programming, following interfaces are supported: C#, C++, LabVIEW, VB, matlab, Qt, Linux, .Net, iMAC, Python, ROS, etc.

→Actually, according to different axis numbers, there are XPLC004E, XPLC006E and XPLC008E

There is one note: XPLC006E belongs to bus motion controller, which means it only supports EtherCAT bus axes, pulse axes and encoder axes are invalid. Then, it uses EtherCAT bus and drive to communication with refresh cycle of 1ms.

Let's see   XPLC864E2  , it is upgraded on the basis of XPLC006E, which means, it supports all functions of XPLC006E mentioned above, and usages are basically the same. However, some resource spaces are better than XPLC006E. What's more, XPLC864E2 supports 32 inputs, 32 outputs, 2 ADs and 2 DAs in hardware level, pulse axis and bus axis can be hybrid used. The number of real axes is 8 totally. Except EtherCAT interface, in hardware of output, signal output of 8 axes in pulse direction can be configured, and be with 2 encoder inputs set by input configuration.

Same, XPLC864E2 supports PLC, Basic and HMI configuration programming methods. For PC upper computer API programming, following interfaces are supported: C#, C++, LabVIEW, VB, matlab, Qt, Linux, .Net, iMAC, Python, ROS, etc.
