2. Core features

(1) High-speed industrial Ethernet communication

EtherCAT (TS7610-EC):

Supports DC (distributed clock) synchronization, suitable for high-precision multi-axis motion control.

Communication cycle ≤100μs, suitable for high-speed real-time control.

PROFINET (TS7610-PN):

Supports IRT (isochronous real-time) mode, suitable for Siemens PLC system.

Supports PROFIenergy energy-saving mode.

EtherNet/IP (TS7610-EI):

Compatible with Rockwell control systems and supports CIP Motion.

(2) Ultra-high resolution and accuracy

Single-turn up to 24 bits (16,777,216 steps/turn), suitable for nano-positioning systems.

Multi-turn uses electronic counting + battery backup or mechanical gear energy storage (maintenance-free).

(3) Intelligent functions

Real-time diagnosis: can monitor temperature, vibration, communication status, and support Predictive Maintenance.

Multi-turn position memory: can maintain position information even if power is off (battery backup or mechanical energy storage).

Plug and play: supports Auto-IP and LLDP to simplify network configuration.

(4) Anti-interference and reliability

Dual-port switch (Daisy-Chain topology) to reduce wiring complexity.

EMC anti-interference: Complies with EN 61000-6-2/4, suitable for installation near inverters and servo drives.

3. Typical applications

Industrial robots: multi-joint collaborative control (EtherCAT real-time synchronization).

CNC machine tools: high-precision multi-axis linkage (PROFINET IRT).

Semiconductor equipment: wafer alignment, lithography machine (ultra-high resolution requirements).

Logistics automation: high-speed sorting system (EtherNet/IP + CIP Motion).

Printing and packaging machinery: color control, tension control.
