EtherCAT Edge Programmable Industrial Motion Controller (1): ZMC432H Hardware Interfaces

ZMC432H is one EtherCAT motion control edge controller made in Chinese Zmotion. And ZMC432H was introduced briefly before. Now, Zmotion would like to share more information about ZMC432H EtherCAT edge programmable industrial controller with you, therefore, one series article on ZMC432H will be shown.

Here, the first part,  hardware interfaces introduction of ZMC432H EtherCAT edge programmable industrial controller.


1
ZMC432H Hardware Functions

EtherCAT motion control edge controller ZMC432H supports self-researched and self-controlled software and hardware. And this EtherCAT edge controller is an independent motion controller that is compatible with EtherCAT bus and pulse.

In addition, it not only supports  motion control, but also supports HMI.

A. motion control

ZMC432H EtherCAT motion controller supports 32 axes motion control at most.

ZMC432H has rich hardware interfaces and control functional modules.

-Achieve  High Effective & Stable Motion Control and Real Time Data Acquisition-

-For  Industrial Control with Industrial Internet Together-


B. HMI

ZMC432H EtherCAT motion controller supports Zmotion remote display function.

-Provide Network Configuration Display-

- Real Time Watch & Adjust Parameters-

What's more, Linux system is built in ZMC432H. That is, it can be connected through local LOCAL interface, then, instruction interaction speed can be faster.  The one interaction time of one single instruction and multiple instructions is about 40us.

ZMC432 Hardware Parameters

(1) Basic Parameters

(2) More Parameters

Here only shows some generally used parameters.

For more information, it can be checked by ourselves, that is, through  RTSys.

RTSys is updated from ZDevelop.

As we all know, ZDevelop is the programming software developed by Zmotion.

It supports ZBasic, ZPLC and ZHMI programming. Easy to program, debug and diagnose.  Then, on the basis of ZDevelop, Zmotion developed more, RTSys is launched.

RTSys (ZDevelop) supports RTBasic (ZBasic), RTPLC (ZPLC), RTHMI (ZHMI) and machine vision RTVision (ZVision) second-development, including hybrid programming. There are many functions, real-time simulation, online tracking, diagnose and debug, etc., then rapidly help you realize vision positioning, vision measurement, vision recognition, vision detection of intelligent equipment, and achieve complex motion control system development.

In short, RTSys supports more function and it is with more tools.

How to check more?

-- connect RTSys programming software to controller (ZMC432H)

-- enterthe command in RTSys "online & output"

-- send the command out

Then, all related parameters are appeared in the "output" window.

Different commands correspond to different parameters.

?*max - controller specification parameters

?*set - command parameter values

?*port - port information

Connect to controller and PC through serial port or ethernet, then, send commands to controller.

Specifically, communicate with external devices through RS232, RS485 and ethernet.

In addition, when resources are not enough, expansion modules can be used. It supports EtherCAT or CAN expansion modules, the corresponding interfaces are EtherCAT bus interface and CAN bus interface.

ZMC432H Controller Solution

EtherCAT edge programmable industrial controller is one of key elements for industrial internet. Therefore, Zmotion developed ZMC432H EtherCAT edge programmable industrial controller  to provide one-stop-shop solutions for industrial internet users in intellectual manufacture.

In this way:

Achieve connection between manufacture devices.

Share & Interact internal data fully.

Optimize production process.

Apply for markets.

ZMC432H features in industrial scheme:

  1. 32 axes EtherCAT bus control , with 1ms refresh cycle

  2. 6 10MHz high-speed differential pulse outputs, hybrid interpolation of bus axes and pulse axes is valid

  3. come with inputs and outputs, analog inputs and analog outputs

  4. RS232/RS485 can be connected to instrument, sensor , etc.

  5. EtherNET can be connected to MES, cloud platform .

  6. Linux system can be configured to realize differentiation in process development.

  7. hardware core element in ZMC432H is made in China, including motion control kernel "runtime" software "MotionRT", it is researched and developed.

There is one solution example, please refer to the below graphic.
