Advantech designed iDoor technology by supporting the flexible optional connector arrangement for the Advantech embedded Automation computing platform including connector, internal cabling and a wide range of I/O and communication Modules. PCM-26R1EC is an ARM-based EtherCAT Master with Advantech iDoor technology. It can support a pure I/O master. Data exchange and memory allocation in EtherCAT communication can be executed automatically by the PCM-26R1EC series. You can benefit from EtherCAT’s high-performance communication features without handling the complicated EtherCAT communication protocol. It also supports “Common Motion API” for all EtherCAT slaves connected automatically without ESI/ENI. Motion utility is easy to use and configure EtherCAT system and provides Error Detection and Diagnostics to monitor the entire EtherCAT network.
