SAFETY INFORMATION
⚫Read these safety instructions carefully.
⚫Please carry the unit with both hands and handle it with caution.
⚫Power Input voltage +19 to +50VDC Power Input (Typ. +24VDC)
⚫Make sure the voltage of the power source is appropriate before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
⚫To prevent the QEC device from shock or fire hazards, please keep it dry and away
from water and humidity.
⚫Operating temperature between -20 to +70°C/-40 to +85°C (Option).
⚫When using external storage as the main operating system storage, ensure the
device's power is off before connecting and removing it.
⚫Never touch un-insulated terminals or wire unless your power adaptor is
disconnected.
⚫Locate your QEC device as close as possible to the socket outline for easy access
and avoid force caused by the entangling of your arms with surrounding cables
from the QEC device.
⚫If your QEC device will not be used for a period of time, make sure it is
disconnected from the power source to avoid transient overvoltage damage.
WARNING!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR TO DISASSEMBLE THE CHASSIS (ENCASING)
OF THIS PRODUCT. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALER FOR SERVICING FROM
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.

1.1 Introduction
QEC-M-090T is an EtherCAT master with a real-time, reliable, and synchronous control
equipped with a 9-inch TFT LCD. The industrial Arduino makes it an easy-to-develop, stable,
and economical automation system, allowing users to develop EtherCAT with UI quickly.
The QEC master is highly compatible with third-party EtherCAT devices for communication,
such as servo, I/O, etc. For taking full advance of EtherCAT, It supports PDO, CoE, FoE, DC,
and EtherCAT cable redundancy to use other EtherCAT slaves flexibly. The QEC master has
precise synchronization (min.125μs), and its 86Duino IDE provides less than 1us jitter time in
the minimum cycle time; it could apply to highly synchronized and precision automatic
applications, like motion control and I/O control. (Read More: EtherCAT Master’s Benchmark –
QEC)
QEC-M-090T has a built-in high endurance 2GB SLC eMMC, designed to provide a stable and
reliable operating system. Users can upload the developed executable files and required
images or data, such as HMI images, to the QEC-M-090’s SLC via the 86Duino IDE without
affecting the performance of the master system. Besides, 86Duino IDE also integrates with
the LVGL library to provide an advanced and intuitive approach to user interface design on
QEC-M-090T.
QEC-M-090T can also monitor hardware information on temperature, voltage, and current.
These features allow users to track the system’s carbon footprint and estimate its lifespan.
QEC-M-090T’s dimension is 245 x 152.2 x 32.55 mm, with its open frame design for easy
integration and customization. Operating temperature is from -20°C to +70°C, and with an
extended option of -40 to +85°C, this EtherCAT Master remains steadfast even in the most
challenging conditions. QEC-M-090T has two networks for EtherCAT Cable redundancy and
one Giga LAN for external network connection. It also offers unrivaled connectivity, featuring
3 USB ports, a MicroUSB port (debug/upload only), VGA output, MiniPCIe slot, and full Arduino
function Pins (GPIO, PWM, SPI, I2C, CAN, etc.); All provide an off-the-shelf API to use.
These interfaces open up a world of possibilities for integrating various devices and
peripherals into your automation network, providing flexibility and adaptability for your
unique requirements.
