Pulse and Direction Controller Options

For Pulse and Direction motion control, AutomationDirect offers several controller options, each offering their own set of capabilities. From the simple motion control offered by low-cost CLICK PLUS PLCs, to the highly-advanced LS Electric XGB models, we have a controller to fit your exact motion control needs.

LS Electric XGB PLCs

Starting at $279.00 (XEM-DR14H2).

LS Electric XGB PLCs are powerful controllers, supporting up to 6 pulse train axes in a single standalone PLC. The high-density I/O on select models provides 4 high-speed inputs and up to 12 high-speed outputs at 200kHz. Add additional motion axes using high-speed counter modules with multiple 500kHz high-speed inputs.

Productivity PLCs

Starting at $237.00 (P1-540).

Productivity CPUs paired with high-speed input and output modules, high-speed counter modules, and PWM modules are great options for basic pulse train motion applications. For even better accuracy, combine the PS-AMC motion controller with select CPUs for up to a 1MHz pulse train on up to 4 axes each.

Do-more BRX PLCs

Starting at $199.00 (BX-DM1-10AR-D).

Select BRX PLCs feature onboard high-speed I/O capable of up to 3 coordinated axes of pulse train motion with additional virtual axes for internal control and following applications. Expand the BRX PLCs even further with HSIO expansion modules that provide up to 2MHz of high-speed I/O with single-ended or differential configurations.

CLICK PLUS PLCs

Starting at $97.00 (C2-01CPU).

Combining CLICK PLUS CPUs with high-speed capable option slot I/O modules provides a basic pulse train motion control solution. Capable of up to 3 axis of interpolated motion at up to 100kHz and with easy-to-use positioning commands, CLICK PLUS PLCs are the go-to for simple motion.
