16-Axis EtherCAT Bus Motion Controller with BM10 I/O Expansion

Economical Bus Control

The TA-035 is an entry-level bus motion controller developed on the Codesys platform. It controls up to 16 EtherCAT axes on a 4 ms cycle, which covers small and medium machines without the cost of a larger controller chassis.

Processing Resources

The controller is based on a triple-core A7 processor at 1.0 GHz with 128 MB RAM and 512 MB storage. These resources are sufficient for typical multi-axis logic and motion programs on the Codesys environment.

I/O Expansion via BM10

I/O is expanded with BM10 series modules up to a total of 32 blocks, each block carrying 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. This modular approach lets the I/O count be matched to the machine rather than over-provisioned up front.

Connectivity

• Processor: ARM A7 triple core, 1.0 GHz
• Memory: 128 MB RAM, 512 MB storage
• Axes: 16 at 4 ms (EtherCAT)
• I/O expansion: BM10 series, up to 32 x (8 DI + 8 DO)
• Interfaces: RS485, RS232, USB 2.0, EtherCAT, EtherNet

Applications

The TA-035 fits factory automation, robotics, packaging machinery, CNC machine tools, semiconductor equipment, inspection equipment, and material handling at a lower entry cost.
