NEXUS 2-Axis or 4-Axis Stepper
Motor Controller For Industrial Networks |
This networked stepper controller can run up to four
stepper profiles simultaneously. Each channel has incremental
encoder feedback and discrete inputs that can be used
to provide additional control options for your Stepper
Motor application.
Its network interface makes it simple to connect this
2-axis or 4-axis stepper motor 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.
