C-885 PIMotionMaster

Rack with Processor and Interface Module for Modular Multi-Axis Controller System

Easy configuration and startup
Modular design for versatile expansion
Efficient communication with the controller modules
Greatly reduced wiring effort
Saves space and costs

Plug-and-play installation of the controller modules in the C-885 PIMotionMaster. The processor and interface module communicates with the PIMikroMove software and with the controller modules. It detects the available controller module type automatically. Grouping the controller modules in one housing ensures internal communication and reduces the wiring effort because of the common power adapter and external communication via a single USB or Ethernet interface.

The system is easily scalable. An additional controller module can be inserted into any free slot and expands the overall system by the corresponding functions. Optional digital inputs and outputs can be installed for every controller module.
