Motion Controllers
Motion controllers are programmable devices that centrally manage the multi-axis motion of servo drives simultaneously; the number of axes, communication network, synchronization time and digital input-output structure are chosen according to the machine's needs. They are used to generate electronic cam, electronic gear and interpolation motions in systems where axes are positioned in relation to one another, such as packaging, labeling, cutting and winding machines, as well as CNC and robot cells. In this category, Delta Electronics products are divided into two subgroups by communication network: EtherCAT and CANopen. The EtherCAT group includes AX-5, AX-8 and AX-C coded models and DVP50MC models, and the CANopen group includes DVP15MC models; the product data shows axis counts such as 8, 16, 32 and 128. Because CNC and robotic functions depend on the license type, look for the words Motion, Motion CNC or Motion CNC Robotic in the product name. The controller's network must be the same as the network supported by the servo drives to be connected; verify drive compatibility and the programming software from the manufacturer data.

How to choose Motion Controllers
Motion controllers are programmable devices that centrally manage the multi-axis motion of servo drives simultaneously; the number of axes, communication network, synchronization time and digital input-output structure are chosen according to the machine's needs. They are used to generate electronic cam, electronic gear and interpolation motions in systems where axes are positioned in relation to one another, such as packaging, labeling, cutting and winding machines, as well as CNC and robot cells.
- Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
- Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
- Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
