Reliance introduce EtherCAT to Cool Muscle motor range

The Cool Muscle Motor servo system has been a premium, reliable product in the Reliance motion control catalogue range for many years. The range has now been extended with the addition of EtherCAT compatible servo motor versions in NEMA sizes 17 and 23 for both short and long units. EtherCAT is a high speed, real time communication protocol that has the ability to update numerous devices in the microsecond range. This makes it ideal for multi-axis synchronised control or in systems where a master is co-ordinating a large variety of devices such as sensors, motion axes and distributed I/O.
