Unit replaces motion controller and PLC

    Dec. 8, 2005
    ServoWire Motion and Logic Controllers replace a motion controller and PLC combination with a single unit that can control up to thousands of I/O points.

    Model 30 handles up to three axes, Model 80 up to eight, and Model 160 up to 16. Units have a compact footprint and feature Pentium processors, FireWire drive networking, and Ethernet connectivity. Their rugged all-metal enclosures require no fans.
