Turbo PMAC Clipper

Clipper

Powerful, Cost-Effective,
Multi-Axis Controller

The PMAC Clipper Controller is a full featured Turbo PMAC designed for extremely cost sensitive applications. This powerful, but compact and cost-effective, multi-axis controller comes standard with Ethernet and RS232 communication ports and built in I/O.The Clipper Controller offers a full Turbo PMAC 2-CPU and provides a minimum of four axes of servo or stepper control with 32 digital I/O points.

The Turbo Clipper Drive (Low Voltage), 12~60V(DC) bus power input, combines the intelligence and capability of the Turbo PMAC2 motion controller with the latest MOSFET technology, resulting in a compact 4-axis smart servo package. The flexibility of the Turbo PMAC2 enables the Turbo Clipper Drive to drive Stepper, Brush, or Brushless motors with unsurpassed pure digital DSP performance.

The Turbo Clipper Drive also features a wide variety of options varying from processor speeds as high as 240MHz, multiple digital and analog inputs/outputs, USB2.0, Ethernet 100 Base T, and serial communication.
