GCC, a complete EtherCAT Motion Control & Safety System

The Generic Control Case (GCC) saves you the time to develop your own Motion Control System, without compromising on flexibility. Out of the box, the system already has a Motion Control Application and a Safety PLC on-board, so you can work safely with your EtherCAT robot or machine. When you are comfortable with using MOTORCORTEX, create your own control application and update the SafetyPLC with your own logic. No need to reverse-engineer our solution, we will provide you with the design documents so you can use the GCC as a reference design for your own hardware implementation. This is how we accelerate your business.

Generic Control Case

The Generic Control Case has been carefully designed and built using the latest control and safety components and is ready to control your EtherCAT devices safely.

Developing and testing new automation applications has never been easier.
GCC is the perfect starting point and provides you with all the tools to get your EtherCAT machine or robot up and running in no-time. Use the GCC as a reference design for your own Control System Implementation and save time on engineering.

AC-48 - Robot connector

Extend your GCC with a 48V Application Case (AC-48). The AC-48 provides sufficient power for most EtherCAT Cobots/Robots and includes a breaking chopper to safely work with fast moving robots.
A modular and re-configurable connector allows you to connect your robot while avoiding cable spaghetti.

Example use case

A typical use-case for the GCC is to control a robot (industrial, collaborative or educational).

The required software and configuration can be conveniently deployed from the Motorcortex Portal on motorcortex.io.

Integrated safety system

On top of being an advanced (motion) control system, GCC has a pre-programmed EtherCAT Safety PLC (FSoE) built-in and comes with an Emergency-Stop Button.

This way you can work safely with your machine right out of the box!

Moreover, the Safety System is easily extendable with an additional EtherCAT safety devices, even additional Safety PLCs on the same EtherCAT network.
