Sorry, this product is no longer offered for sale. The recommended replacement product is XPS-RLD4.
Motion Controller, 4-axis Universal Driver, Ethernet, Basic GPIO and PCO
The XPS-RL4 is a high-performance,very easy to use, 4-axis integrated motion controller/driver. Using the same robust QNX operating system as the XPS-Qx, it has a faster PCI bus enabling 10kHz servo control per axis. The web interface has been improved for easy login, configuration, programming, etc. High-speed communication is achieved through 10/100 Base-T Ethernet for outstanding trajectory accuracy and powerful programming functionality. Basic I/O and PCO functions are included.
