ADLINK SuperCAT is an EtherCAT SoftMotion controller capable of supporting up to 128 synchronized axes and over 10,000 points simultaneously. SuperCAT fully supports ADLINK EtherCAT subdevices for high-speed trigger, latch, I/O, and pulse train motion control, designed for laser and semiconductor applications. It features a built-in software trigger and latch function operating at up to 4 kHz for applications such as AOI, dispensing, and EMS manufacturing. Optimal jitter control is achieved with minimal cycles of 125μs, enhancing synchronous I/O performance for vertical automation applications in the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing industries, among others.
SuperCAT provides an off-the-shelf application-ready (APS) function library to generate multi-dimensional, highly synchronized, time-deterministic event-triggered motion and I/O control. A wide range of compatible third-party subdevices can be easily controlled using ADLINK's APS function library. ADLINK's Motion Creator Pro 2™ utility is fully compliant with the Microsoft® Windows™ environment, allowing comprehensive EtherCAT motion and I/O configuration, function evaluation, and process download functions.
