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.
