The AX58400 EtherCAT Slave Controller w/ Dual-Core MCU is a System-in-Package (SiP) product

based on the STM32H755 microcontroller from STMicroelectronics. AX58400 is equipped with

Dual-Core 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M7 core with DSP extension runs up to 480 MHz, 32-bit ARM®

Cortex®-M4 core with Adaptive Real-Time Accelerator (ST ART Accelerator™) runs up to 240 MHz

and EtherCAT Slave Controller (ESC) with two integrated Fast Ethernet PHYs. AX58400 supports

AES/TDES/HASH/HMAC hardware cryptographic accelerators, ROP/PCROP/Anti-tamper security

techniques, true random number generator, and additional communication interfaces such as

10/100Mbps Ethernet MAC, USB 2.0 OTG, Camera I/F, TFT-LCD Controller, JPEG Codec,

SPI/UART/I2C/I2S/SAI/CAN/SDMMC/ADC/DAC/HDMI-CEC/PWM/DFSDM, etc.

The AX58400 is interoperable with all EtherCAT systems with standard EtherCAT protocols such as

CoE, FoE, VoE, etc. and is suitable for motor/motion control, digital I/O control, sensors data

acquisition, robotics, EtherCAT IO-Link master, EtherCAT Junction slave module, EtherCAT

communication module, etc. industrial automation fieldbus applications.
