Overview of C-885 PIMotionMaster
The C-863.20C885 is designed to be integrated in a C-885 PIMotionMaster from PI.
The C-885 PIMotionMaster is a customizable, modular multi-axis controller with card slots. In
order to be functional, the C-885 PIMotionMaster requires a chassis with one C-885.M1 digital
processor and interface module and at least one controller module. See the table below for the
available system components. For the supported controller modules see the documentation of
the C-885 PIMotionMaster (p. 3).
