Release Date : 2020-08-28 16:44:16


NiMotion motion controller provides a multi-axis motion controller designed to provide the ultimate performance and agility for your application scenarios. The multi-axis motion controller achieves intelligent and unique functions by controlling and managing the motion on multiple axes of the automation system.
 

What is a multi-axis motion controller?

 

For a long time, motion control design has been simple. Each shaft has a motor, each motor has a driver, and all are connected by cables and installed in a housing. More shafts means more complicated designs and excessive heat.
Difference between Motion Controller (PAC) and PLC
A multi-axis motion controller: can control up to thousands of stepper or servo motor axes
Then, the advent of digital buses such as CANopen and EtherCAT enabled smarter multi-axis drives. These smart drives eliminate the need for centralized motion controllers and implement a more distributed architecture.
 

How does the multi-axis motion controller work?

 
Multi-axis drives supported by multi-axis controllers can reach performance levels that are almost impossible to achieve with single-axis distributed drives. In this way, the multi-axis controller is an important part of the advanced motion control system.
