A line of motion control stepper products has been released in conjunction with Advanced Micro Controls Inc. (AMCI). This AMCI by IDEC product line includes controllers, stepper motors, an integrated controller/drive, an integrated drive/stepper motor and an integrated controller/drive/stepper motor. When combined with an IDEC FC6A PLC and its embedded motion control macro instructions, these products allow users to implement single- and multi-axis motion control. Macro instructions embedded in the PLC WindLDR programming software can be configured with drag-and-drop commands to perform control of up to 12 axes. The integrated controller/drive and drive/stepper motor units save space by combining multiple components into a single unit.
