High-speed Processing

An FQM1 Flexible Motion Controller System is made up of a Power Supply Unit, a Coordinator Module, one or more Motion Control Modules, and an End Module.

Motion Control Modules are available with either pulse I/O or analog I/O, and a mixture of up to four Motion Control Modules can be included in one system (up to three if only analog I/O Motion Control Modules are used.) A flexible system ideal for the application can be created because each Motion Control Module controls two axes, giving total motion control of eight axes when four Motion Control Modules are connected.

Each Motion Control Module and Coordinator Module has independent ladder programming, allowing high-speed independent control of pulse and analog I/O. Data can be shared between all Modules. The Coordinator Module per- forms general-purpose I/O control and manages overall system operation.
