Delta Motion is expanding its training offerings with the introduction of its new RMC EtherCAT Training course. Designed for machine builders, system integrators, and engineers, the new instructor-led training provides practical, hands-on experience configuring and commissioning EtherCAT networks with Delta Motion’s RMC200 Motion Controller.
The approximately five-hour course can be taken in-person, or remotely through a Live Online Training (LOT) course, as a standalone class, or combined with Delta Motion’s existing motion control training programs, giving customers the flexibility to tailor their learning experience to their specific applications and experience level.

As EtherCAT continues to see growing adoption across industrial applications, the new course equips users with the knowledge and confidence needed to integrate EtherCAT devices into advanced motion control systems.
During the training, each participant receives exclusive access to a dedicated training system featuring an RMC200 Motion Controller connected to connected to a simple EtherCAT network consisting of an EtherCAT servo drive and motor, and an EtherCAT position sensor. Remote attendees see live video of the hardware that they are controlling. Through a combination of instructor presentations, demonstrations, and guided laboratory exercises, trainees gain real-world experience configuring EtherCAT devices, mapping PDO data, commissioning motion axes, troubleshooting networks, and using EtherCAT data within RMCTools.
“EtherCAT master capability gives our customers more flexibility, allowing both direct connection to I/O devices as well as connection via EtherCAT,” said Steve Nylund, CEO of Delta Motion. “Our new EtherCAT training reflects our ongoing investment in customer success—helping users get the most from their servo-electric and servo-hydraulic systems.”
The new EtherCAT course complements Delta Motion’s existing portfolio of instructor-led training, allowing customers to build a customized curriculum that aligns with their application requirements and experience. Whether taken independently or alongside Delta’s motion control courses, the training helps reduce commissioning time, improve troubleshooting skills, and accelerate successful project deployment.
Delta Motion has built its reputation on combining powerful motion control products with exceptional technical support and customer education. The addition of EtherCAT training further reinforces the company’s commitment to helping customers maximize the performance and value of their motion control systems as industry requirements continue to evolve.
