<div class="markdown_content"><blockquote> <p><strong>Zitat:</strong><br/> Hi Peter,<br/> 1.) Does the softmotion based on the EtherCAT protocol can support how many EtherCAT slave motor axes and<br/> How many Ethercat node io device?</p> </blockquote> <p>Usually the Limitation is the performance of your pc which is running the RTE,<br/> there are applications which runs more than 200 axis at one master and additional Ethercat IO's</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Zitat:</strong><br/> 2.) Does the can use dual protocol EtherCAT + EtherNet IP in control RTE or softmotion?</p> </blockquote> <p>Yes you Need to use an own Interface for each fieldbus</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Zitat:</strong><br/> 3.) Does the Control RTE support and free charge easy lightweight version motion control function for EtherCAT "position" motion control?</p> </blockquote> <p>free of charge is possible, but then you need to implement it in the application (DS402 statemachine etc - OP mode Switch start of the movement)<br/> Much more comftable is SoftMotion Light then you have the posibilty to use PLCopen Fb's</p> <p>BR<br/> Edwin</p></div>
