Overview
The 1394 System
The 1394 is a modular, multi-axis motion control and drive system
family. Its unique design allows the 1394 to be used as an integrated
motion controller and drive system (GMC) with Turbo or standard
IMC

S Class Compact functionality, an integrated 9/440 CNC
system, a 9/Series CNC digital interface drive system, a SERCOS
servo drive system, or an analog servo drive system.
All 1394 systems provide direct line connection (transformerless) for
360 and 480V three-phase input power, efficient IGBT power
conversion, and slide-and-lock, module-to-module connection
systems. Each system module can be configured with up to four axis
modules, with each axis module interfacing to a motor. The 1394
provides significant panel space and interconnect savings.
Series Note
Series C system modules (catalog numbers 1394C-SJTxx-x) and axis
modules (catalog numbers 1394C-AMxx and -AMxx-IH) include
features not available on Series A and B modules (catalog numbers
1394-SJTxx-x and 1394-AMxx).
Series C system modules are interchangeable with Series A and B.
Likewise, Series A, B, and C axis modules are interchangeable with
each other.
Series C is recommended for all new applications. See the tables
above for feature availability. For help in determining the series of
your module(s), refer to the section Module Series Designator in the
Preface.
