IDEC: Drive and Controller

IDEC: Drive and Controller

The IANG1 Integrated Stepper Controller + Drive product is a ground-breaking approach to PLC-based motion control systems. Traditional motion controllers are difficult to integrate with PLC-based automation systems. There are so many manufacturers, so many different choices, and each solution contains proprietary features that complicate installation, programming and compatibility.
