Control methods
There are a number of ways to control the motors. From the simplest implementation using the I/O to synchronization and external control systems.
PLCs
PLCs can be used to control the motors. Choose between I/Os, Modbus or CAN.
Sensors
Connect a sensor directly to the motor and let it control the functionality.
Arduino
Arduino Uno, Arduino Pro or any other simple microcontroller can be used to control the motors. Choose between I/Os, Modbus or CAN.
Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone or any other single-board computer can be used to control the motors. Choose between I/Os, Modbus or CAN.
Swithces and potentiometers
Connect switches and potentiometers directly to the motor and to control the functionality.
Automated control
The motors can be configured to run in a preset sequence or movement pattern. The sequence can start directly when powered on, or initiated on an external signal.
