The VLC-ETC is an EtherCAT servo drive that is based on SMAC's VLC 1-axis integrated controller/driver and an additional layer that provides the EtherCAT connectivity. The VLC part is pre-programmed with system macros to accommodate control and monitoring functionalities of the servo drive.
Additional macros can be programmed in the VLC to perform subroutines/functions that can be called from the EtherCAT master. Background knowledge on the VLC is required to configure the servo parameters of the VLC-ETC. Please refer to the latest VLCI-R1 or VLCI-X1 manual for more information about the servo drive parameters and programming.
