Integrated Stepper Controller/Drive with Profinet Interface
Advanced Micro Controls Inc. (AMCI), releases their new DC-powered integrated stepper controller/drive package with Profinet communication. AMCI’s new SD4840E2 combines drive and motion control technology into a single product to reduce stepper control system costs and simplify installation.
