Advanced Motion Controls - DxM and DxI/O Technology
POSTED 04/11/2013
Recently in February 2013 the editors of the respected engineering resource Design News awarded the first place Golden Mousetrap Award in the drives category to ADVANCED Motion Controls'® DZE… and DZS… plug-in servo drives with ground breaking DxM™ and DxI/O™ technology.
DxM™ and DxI/O™ technology expands control to up to 4 axes of motion plus an additional 280 I/O points while maintaining the same 100µs update rate performance previously only achieved in single axis systems. A less expensive, higher performing solution is not available anywhere else. Significant cost savings is achieved because only one EtherCAT® slave node is needed to control up to 3 less expensive sub-nodes (DxM Technology). Additional cost savings come from eliminating the need for expensive 3rd party network I/O modules (DxI/O Technology).
DxM and DxI/O Technology delivers peak performance and offers scalability only previously found in larger, customized, highly dedicated industrial machines. With ADVANCED Motion Controls' DxM and DxI/O Technologies, application solutions are now available for smaller machinery and desktop equipment like water jet cutters, routers, lab automation equipment, biotech processing equipment, smaller mobile robots, etc. where panel space is a premium or not at all available.
