ECM-A100-X

EtherCAT Master Controller, NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™

Overview

Powered by the NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ AI hardware platform, the ECM A100 is an advanced PC-based EtherCAT controller designed for precise and efficient machine automation. It integrates NexCOBOT’s EtherCAT Master, NexECM, enabling real-time communication with an ultra-fast cycle time of up to 250 μs. Featuring NexRTOS, a real-time verified system, it ensures optimal jitter adjustment for precise and stable control. Additionally, the ECM C3821 provides APIs for the CiA 402 servo drive control protocol and includes a built-in EtherCAT configuration tool, streamlining development for automation users.
