Network Ready NEXUS Multi-axis
Stepper Motor Controllers |
This networked stepper motor controller is available
as either a two or four axis controller and can
accurately control velocity and position of up
to four stepper motors simultaneously. Incremental
encoder and discrete inputs can be used to provide
additional feedback information for your Stepper
Motor application. Its network interface makes
it simple to connect this multi-axis stepper controller
to a wide variety of PLC's and manufacturing networks.
Designed to operate with AMCI's complete line
of stepper drives, the Nexus Multi-Axis Stepper
Motor Controller can also operate with drives
from many other manufacturers.
