Simple motion

Simple motion module for positioning control and synchronous control.

Advanced control but simple use as the positioning module

Speed/torque control and synchronous control are supported in addition to the traditional positioning control. Using the "simple motion module setting tool", operations such as positioning setting, monitoring and debugging can be performed easily. In addition, data synchronized with the motion controller can be collected and displayed in waveform.
