AX-5 series Standard CPU

AX-5 Series uses a 4-core processor to balance motion control and communication performance, and supports industrial network communication protocols such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, as well as third-party Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The series makes it easy to integrate different production line information into production management systems. The system utilizes a high-speed 100 Mbps EtherCAT bus and Hot Connect to ensure high-precision synchronization control and real-time I/O updates. The independent I/O power supply simplifies wiring and delivers highly stable system operation and flexible I/O module expansion. The AX-5 Series is suitable for industries such as industrial robotics, woodworking, printing, packaging, electrical assembly and more.
