Powermax EtherCAT Interface for EDGE Connect Faster and simplified machine setup A single communication device eliminates complex hard wire connections and provides more flexibility to any cabling arrangements based on your equipment setup. The EtherCAT box can be installed inside the drive cabinet or closer to the Powermax equipment, mounted vertically or horizontally using provided brackets.   Embedded automatic process control Produce high-quality parts through built-in intelligence of the Powermax SYNC® systems. Only compatible processes for the installed cartridge are displayed and communicated automatically to the EDGE Connect CNC Phoenix software upon startup. Alerts to real-time diagnostic information The Powermax Interface synchronizes data exchange between the connected systems. Operators are instantly alerted to incorrect cut parameters and prevented from selecting a current higher than the installed cartridge. Also, operators can perform a soft reset of the Powermax system within the Phoenix software without a physical reset on the power supply equipment.
