# EtherCAT Motion Control (ECMC)
The list of hardware supported by Controls.
## EtherCAT Hardware Portfolio
#### Preferred EtherCAT terminals
We maintain an active list of preferred EtherCAT terminals. The list accessed via the following url, under Standards Dokumente:\
https://intranet.psi.ch/de/el-net/el-net-psidrive-control
Using hardware from this catalog guarantees turnkey support, pre-tested motor profiles, and in most cases spare part replacement.
#### Supported EtherCAT terminals
A auto-generated list of supported Beckhoff EtherCAT terminals is available here:\
https://paulscherrerinstitute.github.io/ecmccfg/manual/general_cfg/supported_slaves/
The use of non-preferred by supported terminals should be discussed with local beamline contact and motion expert. Availability of spare parts on stock is not guaranteed.
