Motion Control Slave Modules feature compact design.

March 18, 2008 - Models AMAX-2241, 2242, and 2243 are 4-axis AMONet RS-485 motion slave modules that help increase number of axes on AMONet RS-485 decentralized motion control network. Modules include up to 20 Mbps transfer rate, 6.5 MHz 4-axes pulse output, 28 bits counter for incremental encoder, 2-4 axes linear interpolation, 2-axes circular interpolation, and T and S-curve velocity profile support. Units can connect serially through Category 5 LAN cable, reducing wiring between driver/controller.

Advantech Launches New Versatile & Compact Motion Control Slave Modules

(Cincinnati, Ohio - 03/11/2008) - The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech introduces three new members of the AMAX-2000 series. The AMAX-2241 (Panasonic Minas A), 2242 (Mitsubishi MR-J2S), and 2243 (Yaskawa Sigma-II) are 4-axis AMONet RS-485 motion slave modules used to increase the number of axes on an AMONet RS-485 decentralized motion control network. These new slave modules can connect serially through simple Category 5 LAN cable, reducing the wiring between driver and controller.

All three new modules include: up to 20 Mbps transfer rate and 6.5 Mhz 4-axes pulse output, 28 bits counter for incremental encoder, 2~4 axes linear interpolation, 2-axes circular interpolation, and T and S-curve velocity profile support.

As with all AMAX products, they are integrated with complete hardware and powerful software and are available for purchase directly from Advantech at 1-800-205-7940 or from an Advantech authorized dealer.
