ZMC432M Video Introduction: https://youtu.be/QuDeyMrV2Lo
1. ZMC432M Introduction
ZMC432M belongs to EtherCAT vertical modular motion controllers. Specifically, compared to other ZMC motion controllers, there is slave expansion interface added, you can expand resources easily and conveniently, no need one communication coupler module any more. Therefore, if your applicationrequires lots of digital / analog inputs and outputs, ZMC432M can help you reduce the cost of ECAT / CAN communication module, the space also will be saved at the same time.
Actually for this function, ZMC432M is like XPLC300 series, but ZMC432M is higher performance for complex motion control (XPLC300 doesn’t support interpolation).
It can complete motion control tasks easily and flexibly, for example, point motion, electronic cam, linear motion, circular interpolation, continuous trajectory, laser PWM, manipulator, etc.
What’s more, ZMC432M multi-axis EtherCAT motion controller supportsinner compensation algorithm, and its fastest EtherCAT communication period can be up to 125us, your high-precision and high-speed automatic control can be achieved easily and stability.
--ZMC432M Motion Control Interfaces--
*8-32 axis motion control
*RS232, RS485, CAN, EtherNET, EtherCAT, UDISK.
*16 DI digital inputs: 4 are high-speed latch, 4 groups of single-ended encoder.
*16 DO digital outputs: 8 are high-speed single-ended pulse axes, 4 groups of high-speed PWM, 4 groups of high-speed hardware comparison output HW.
*2 AD & 2 DA (0-10V).
*1 RUN / STOP dial code.
2. ZMC432M Features & Advantages
A. Expand Resources So Easy, Make Better Motion Control
ZMC432M vertical EtherCAT motion controller matches with ZMIO310 expansion modules to get more IOs easily.
"Align→ Fit→ Tight"
B. Power-Off Storage Protects Your Data
ZMC432M EtherCAT motion controller supports power-down storage function. That is, when your system encounters power-off / restarts, it can save key data, enhancing system reliability.
C. RUN / STOP Button Promotes Safety
ZMC432M EtherCAT motion controller has one dial code that can switch RUN mode to STOP mode mutually. While updating the program, you can switch to STOP mode for debugging and checking problems.
D. NPN & PNP IN Meets Type-Conversion Need
For ZMC432M EtherCAT motion controller digital inputs, they have NPN and PNP types. You only need to change the connection methods, PNP and NPN can be switched as you needed. In this way, save the cost of another conversion device.

E.Multi-Programming Languages Develops Your Motion Control
method 1: by PC languages & API commands
If you master one of below programming languages, Zmotion provides corresponding API function library files and examples for your motion control projects development, for example, C++ / C# / Labview / Python / Qt…
Also, please check with Zmotion PC Programming Manual.
method 2: by Zmotion RTBasic language
Zmotion has one own free IDE software RTSys. You can develop, simulate, debug, and diagnose your project.
For development, there are RTBasic, RTPlc, RTHmi languages. The main language is RTBasic, there are rich motion control commands. You can download it and test it in advance under simulator. Also, please check with Zmotion RTBasic Programming Manual.
method 3: hybrid programming
You also can program by PC languages and RTBasic together. Hybrid programming and multi-task programming can promote real-time of specified motion task.
3. ZMC432M Motion Control Applications
ZMC432M vertical EtherCAT motion controller can be used in Semi-Conductor Devices, Laser Processing, Precise Dispensing, Printing & Package Equipment, Textile & Garment Equipment, Medical Devices, Industrial Robot, etc.
