AAEON (Stock Code: 6579), a leader in industrial PC solutions, today announced a new software-based EtherCAT service for its OMNI-ADP series, a 10-model range of Modular HMI Panel PCs. Powered by IntervalZero's EtherCAT master stack, the service will allow AAEON customers to leverage hardware-free precise motion synchronization and deterministic I/O communication at scale, removing the need for motion control cards and PLC controllers.

The OMNI-ADP series offers LED projected capacitive multi-touch displays ranging from 10.4" to 27", 12th Gen Intel Core processing, and a rich selection of industrial interfaces, making it central to AAEON's position as a leading provider of smart manufacturing and automation platforms. With the company's new offering however, it will be possible for EtherCAT peripherals such as servo motors, digital I/O devices, and other CNC machines to be controlled directly on OMNI-ADP Panel PCs.
