The advent of digital multi-axis controllers is one of the major trends being witnessed in the market. The ongoing developments in the architecture of industrial machinery have enhanced accuracy and performance for repeatable tasks. This, in turn, has created a huge room for devices that can integrate with traditional axis positioning. The digital motion controller is one such device that acts as a modern solution for axis control in machines and systems. They can be PC programmed with the help of software to manage position, velocity, or force of any electrohydraulic axis to improve motion performance and simplify automation architecture, and can be interfaced with fieldbus, the machine main control unit.

In this report, Technavio analysts highlight the growing adoption of EtherCAT and other digital buses as a key factor contributing to the growth of the global programmable multi-axis motion controller market:

Growing adoption of EtherCAT and other digital buses drives growth

EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a MAC layer protocol and is transparent to any higher-level Ethernet protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP (News - Alert), and Web server. It uses a unique approach known as "processing on the fly," wherein the data is directly processed while passing through the device because of which, the operating speed of EtherCAT is much higher than other protocols. This principle of "processing on the fly" also permits flexibility in topology and provides real-time data.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for automation, "Unlike other Industrial Ethernet protocols, in EtherCAT, the master sends out a single message with data for all nodes. The message transmits to a following node while data is processed by the previous node. In this way, it maximizes the use of the available bandwidth, offering increased speed. Additionally, EtherCAT does not require the use of external switches or routers. EtherCAT devices use an embedded switch."
