ZMC464 Hardware Manual Version1.3 Chapter I Controllers Introduction ZMC is the abbreviation of network motion controller model launched by ZMOTION technology. ZMC464 series controller supports EtherCAT bus connection, the fastest refresh cycle is 100μs (within 16 axes), and supports linear interpolation of up to 64 axes, interpolation of circular, spherical, electronic cam, electronic gear, synchronous following, virtual axis setting etc.
ZMC464 Hardware Manual Version1.3 1.2 Installation and Programming ZDevelop Development Environment ZMC controller is programmed and debugged by ZDevelop software. ZDevelop, the software is easy to program, compile and debug. Link ZDevelop and controller through serial, 485, USB or Ethernet.
ZMC464 Hardware Manual Version1.3 1.3 Features ⚫ Motion control of up to 64 axes (3 pulse axes + ECAT axes). ⚫ Pulse output mode: direction / pulse or double axes. ⚫ The fastest refresh cycle of ECAT is 100μs (within 16 axes, and needs special version).
