AGM800

Central-i master controller — 8 axes

High-performance 8-axis Central-i master controller with 12 Central-i ports: 8 for remote amplifiers, 4 for I/O modules, each connected by standard CAT5 cable up to 100 m away. The AGM800 executes the motion profiler and every servo loop internally at 16 kHz for multi-axis synchronization better than 1 µs, with large flash/RAM for complex applications such as CNC motion (G-codes) and 3D error mapping.
