PC-based Host Motion Controller AX-8 Series

Delta is cooperating with the CODESYS® group to utilize its motion control development system and offer a brand new motion control solution based on CODESYS, which integrates the control functions of PLCs, HMIs, and motion controllers into one platform. It also supports EtherCAT communication to simultaneously control field devices such as servo drives, AC motor drives, and remote modules.

This new CODESYS-based motion control solution features Delta's PC-based Host Motion Controller AX-8 Series as one of the options for system controllers. The presented AX-864E type allows programming on CODESYS platform, and supports EtherCAT for motion control and OPC UA for third-party equipment connection.
