MDR controllers for safe, efficient, and modular conveyor technology

Motorized roller conveyors are used in intralogistics, especially when high demands are placed on flexibility and modularity. In this video, we present the EP741x MDR controller, which enables update rates in the sub-millisecond range with EtherCAT.
