Motion Controller & Driver, 2-Axis, Ethernet, RS232

The ESP302-2N Dual Axis Motion Controller and Driver is the successor of the popular ESP301 motion controller providing the same functionality as the ESP301 with an Ethernet inteface, web base GUI, and enhanced front panel functions through LCD Touch Screen. For maximum backward compatibility, the ESP302 features the same motion commands and control algorithms as the ESP301.

Integrated Drivers

The ESP302-2N drives and controls two axis of motion using DC or 2-phase stepper motors up to 3A. This capability enables driving a large selection of Newport stages and actuators. Built-in drivers make the ESP302 controllers a space saving and cost effective choice. ESP302-3N back panel is shown.

Website Interface

Through its 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet port, the ESP302 offers a website interface for users to control its most common features and functions. This high-speed interface is compatible with Windows 7 and above, is independent from the user's operating system and does not require specific software on the host PC.

Plug-and-Play with ESP Compatible Stages

When an ESP-compatible stage is connected to the ESP302 controller, the stage is quickly recognized and operating parameters are configured without the need for user inputs. This Plug-and-Play feature is not only transparent to the user, but it also ensures the safe operation of the stage.

Functional Motion Capabilities

The ESP302 controllers include a variety of motion capabilities: Slaving (joystick or other stage), Jogging, Point-to-Point, Grouping, Trapezoidal Velocity Profile, S-Curve Velocity Profile, Backlash Compensation, and Linear Compensation. These motion features make the ESP302 well-rounded controllers that can handle common motion tasks.
