MAXnet Motion Controller

Item No: MAXnet

The MAXnet is a 5-axis motion controller for stepper and/or servo motor control on a single 4"x6.5" inch card. The communications interface is Ethernet and/or RS232. Each axis can be selected by the user to be an open or closed stepper or a servo axis. Outputs are provided for 16-bit analog servo output, as well as step and direction for stepper system applications.

The servo loop is a PID filter with feed-forward coefficients and an update rate of 122 µs on all 5 axes. An additional 8 user-definable I/O is available for synchronization and control of other events. Incremental encoder feedback, differential or single ended, is used for all servo axes and is available for position feedback and may also be used for slip or stall detection.
