1.0 Introduction
1.1 Scope of the Manual
The XPS-D is an extremely high-performance, easy to use, integrated motion
controller/driver offering high-speed communication through 10/100/1000 Base-T
Ethernet, outstanding trajectory accuracy and powerful programming functionality. It
combines user-friendly web interfaces with advanced trajectory and synchronization
features to precisely control from the most basic to the most complex motion sequences.
Multiple digital and analog I/O's, triggers and supplemental encoder inputs provide
users with additional data acquisition, synchronization and control features that can
improve the most demanding motion applications.
To maximize the value of the XPS Controller/Driver system, it is important that users
