What's in the Delivery Package
Delivered electronically as a .zip archive. Proprietary source code is never included in any delivery.
Compiled Library
Protected static library implementing the EtherCAT master state machine and license / demo verification.
Public Header Files
C++ headers required to build your application against the library. No proprietary internals exposed.
Example Source File
An editable server.cpp you may modify or replace with your own motion-control logic.
Build Configuration
CMake files and build scripts for a standard Linux C++17 toolchain.
Deployment Scripts
Installation and setup scripts to get the master running on your Linux machine.
Documentation
README, USER_GUIDE.pdf, and the hardware fingerprint generation procedure for licensed builds.
Why EtherCAT + SOEM?
EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is the fastest industrial fieldbus available, with deterministic communication in under 1 millisecond. It uses standard Ethernet hardware — no proprietary cards needed.
SOEM (Simple Open EtherCAT Master) is a battle-tested, MIT-licensed open-source EtherCAT master stack written in C, running on Linux with PREEMPT-RT for real-time performance — the same stack used in industrial robots worldwide.
Together, they replace costly proprietary PLCs and motion controllers while delivering better real-time performance on standard Linux hardware.

Purchase Terms
By purchasing a license you agree to the full Purchase Terms & Conditions. Key points are summarised below.
Payment in Advance
Full payment is required before any license file is issued. GST and applicable taxes are charged separately at the prevailing rate.
No Refund Policy
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Once a license is generated and issued, no refunds are given under any circumstances.
Node-Locked License
Each license is cryptographically bound to a single machine via hardware fingerprint. Running the licensed software on a different machine requires a separate license.
1-Year Technical Support
Includes email and phone support, bug fixes, license re-issuance (hardware failure), 1 PDO configuration regen per year, and minor updates. 2 business-day response target.
Electronic Delivery Only
The software is delivered as a .zip archive via email or secure link. No physical media. No proprietary source code is ever delivered.
One Machine Per License
Each license entitles you to use the software on exactly one machine. Additional machines require additional licenses purchased at the current fee.
All sales are final.Because the license is generated specifically for your machine's hardware fingerprint and delivered electronically, it cannot be returned or exchanged. Please evaluate thoroughly using the Demo Version before purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Demo Version and the Licensed Version?
The Demo Version is free and lets you evaluate the full software — it expires after 30 days, is limited to 25 total runs, and each session ends after 10 minutes. The Licensed Version has no such restrictions, is node-locked to your specific machine via hardware fingerprint, and includes 1 year of technical support.
Can I get a refund after purchasing a license?
No. All sales are final. Because the license file is generated specifically for your machine's hardware fingerprint and delivered electronically, it cannot be returned or transferred. We strongly recommend evaluating the Demo Version before purchasing.
What is SOEM EtherCAT master?
SOEM (Simple Open EtherCAT Master) is an open-source, MIT-licensed EtherCAT master stack written in C that runs on Linux with PREEMPT-RT for real-time performance. It enables deterministic sub-millisecond communication with EtherCAT slave devices — servo drives, stepper controllers, I/O modules — replacing expensive proprietary PLCs.
Which servo motor brands are compatible?
Our EtherCAT master integrates with any EtherCAT-capable servo drive including Yaskawa, Siemens, Panasonic, Delta, Mitsubishi, Beckhoff, Omron, Schneider Electric, ABB, Lenze, SEW-Eurodrive, and Bosch Rexroth. If it has an ESI file, we can integrate it.
What is the price of EtherCAT servo motor system in India?
Our EtherCAT servo motor system starts at ₹2,00,000 and includes the servo drive, motor, EtherCAT slave card, and SOEM master integration. I/O cards start at ₹45,000, stepper motor systems at ₹85,000, and DC RPM motor drives at ₹70,000.
Does your EtherCAT solution work with ROS2?
Yes. Our SOEM-based master integrates natively with ROS2 via ros2_control hardware interfaces, letting you use standard ROS2 motion control pipelines for industrial robotics, AGVs, and custom automation.
Can EtherCAT replace a PLC for factory automation?
Absolutely. Our Linux PREEMPT-RT + SOEM soft PLC solution matches or exceeds hardware PLC performance at a fraction of the cost. It supports IEC 61131-3 logic, SCADA integration, and runs on standard industrial PCs.
How many axes can one EtherCAT master control?
SOEM supports up to 128 EtherCAT slave devices per master. For larger installations, multiple masters can be coordinated. Cycle times as low as 250 µs are achievable on PREEMPT-RT Linux hardware.
