A Complete EtherCAT Platform
Build EtherCAT control, I/O, and HMI systems with less integration effort.
QEC combines EtherCAT MDevices, SubDevices, open software tools (86Duino), and engineering services to help teams deliver HMI + Motion + EtherCAT I/O systems with lower integration risk and less engineering effort.
For machine builders, system integrators, and control teams.

Read MoreQ: What is QEC?
QEC is ICOP Technology’s complete EtherCAT industrial platform for real-time machine control, distributed I/O expansion, HMI development, and industrial system integration. It combines EtherCAT MDevices (controllers), EtherCAT SubDevices (I/O and expansion modules), open software tools based on 86Duino IDE, and engineering support services.
Q: What development environment does QEC use?
QEC uses the 86Duino IDE, an open-source development environment based on the Arduino IDE (compatible with Arduino 1.8.9-style workflow). It supports C/C++ programming with both standard Arduino libraries and QEC-specific libraries for EtherCAT control, motion, HMI, communication, and more.
Q: What types of SubDevices are available in the QEC-R series?
The QEC-R series includes the following SubDevice categories: 1. Digital I/O Modules — digital input and output channels. 2. Analog I/O Modules — analog signal acquisition and output. 3. Compound I/O Modules — combined digital and analog I/O on one module. 4. Gateway Modules — RS-232/RS-485 serial bridging, MPG handwheel, keypad, and LCM display interfaces. 5. Motor Drivers — EtherCAT-controlled stepper and motor driver modules. 6. Junction Modules — network topology connectors for line and star topologies.
