The drive unit is controlled by a data bus, such as USB or Modbus RTU (RS485). The motors have typically 2-3 times higher peak torque per weight compared to competitors. The device performs closed loop control of speed and position, and supports ramping with controlled acceleration. Protection features guard the device from over current, voltage, temperature and torque.

To facilitate standalone operation the unit also has digital and analog inputs and outputs, as well as encoder input and step motor emulation inputs. There are configurable features for simple control interfaces using buttons and potentiometers for standalone applications.
