LDRT Family · Entry-LevelLDRTDaq-e1 — entry-level real-time controller
Real-time bench control at an accessible price: 500 µs deterministic cycles, 100-channel logging @ 1 kHz and the same EtherCAT master and toolchain as the rest of the family — ideal for education and production test.

Capabilities
Real deterministic control, entry-level cost
- 500 µs deterministic control — genuine real-time behaviour, not a soft-timed PC loop.
- 100-channel logging @ 1 kHz — ample capture for teaching benches and end-of-line stations.
- 2× CAN/CAN FD — real-time bus channels for typical single-device benches.
- Built-in EtherCAT master — the same fieldbus architecture as the h1 and m1 — students and operators learn the real thing.
- Compact and quiet — a small, low-power unit that suits a classroom bench or a production station.
Representative production enclosure — a compact fanless unit built on the NXP i.MX 8M Plus platform. Final mechanicals are confirmed per order.

Where it fits
Two jobs the e1 does well
- Teaching labs — students build and run real deterministic control on the same toolchain industry uses, at a price that lets a department buy several.
- Production & end-of-line stations — repeatable pass/fail testing on the line, where the test is fixed and the cost per station matters.
- Grows with the work — a configuration proven on the e1 deploys unchanged to a faster controller when the requirement grows.
