Software Support

Based on the EtherCAT standard, Advantech provides the necessary DLL drivers
and Windows utilities to configure the AMAX-4800 series modules, including I/O
modules integrated with Windows XP/7/8/10.
Advantech also provides a Common Motion I/O API for users to develop unique
applications under a Common Motion architecture in order to unify the user interfaces
of all Advantech motion devices.
Users can also configure parameter settings via a third-party EtherCAT master, such
as TwinCAT, Codesys, or Acontis, by using the AMAX-4800 series module's ESI file
to connect to existing EtherCAT networks.
