1.1.

 

  Product Information 

ZMC408SCAN Laser-Galvanometer Motion Controller is a kind of high-performance 

fieldbus dual-SCAN motion controller launched by Zmotion. It is designed for industrial 

laser + galvan motion control. And multi-axis motion control can be achieved 

through EtherCAT bus and pulse axis interface. 

ZMC408SCAN bus controller supports EtherCAT bus connection, the fastest refresh 

cycle is 500μs, and supports 

max 16 axes linear, spherical, circular, helical interpolation, 

electronic cam, electronic gear, synchronous following, virtual axis setting etc. Real-time 

motion control can be realized by using optimized network communication protocol. 

One Computer can link with up to 256 ZMC controllers. 

The  laser  galvanometer  motion  controller  supports  the  galvanometer  protocol  of 

XY2-100,  and  the  controller  has  a  SCAN  galvanometer  interface  and  a  LASER  laser 

interface.  This  controller  can  be  applied  to  metal  or  non-metal  large-format  splicing 

marking and cutting, ordinary galvanometer marking, welding and cutting, motion axis + 

galvanometer axis linkage marking and cutting, laser drilling and forming, etc., and it can 

be  adapted  to  optical  fiber,  ultraviolet,  carbon  dioxide  and  other  lasers  with  different 

functions. 

 

1.2.

 

  Function Features 

 

Motion control of up to 16 axes. (EtherCAT/pulse encoder axis/virtual axis) 

 

4  AXIS  interfaces  support  encoder  position  measurement  and  incremental  drive 

function, which can be configured as handwheel input mode. 

 

1 MPG handwheel encoder interface supports 5-24V input. 

 

20  leakage  digital  outputs,  and  8  channels  are  high-speed  outputs,  they  support
