ADVANCED Motion Controls Releases the microMACC (micro-sized Motion Automation Control Card)

POSTED 11/03/2015

ADVANCED Motion Controls microMACCThe µMACC is the newest addition to the ADVANCED Motion Controls® MACC controller family. It is designed to be a compact, low cost, controller for machine automation and/or process control applications. Based on the firmware loaded, the µMACC can control: up to 6 axes of servos or steppers via Pulse/Direction signals, servo drives via the CAN Bus, or 2 servo axes via PWM signals to digital servo drives.

Designed for general purpose applications (e.g. servo loops, data acquisition, etc.) the µMACC can act as a stand-alone controller or as a control interface between a PC running a Click&Move program and the motion control hardware.
