3-Axis Motion Made Simple in 3 Ways using CLICK PLUS PLC cover

AutomationDirect CLICK PLUS PLCs, when combined with stepper motors, make advanced motion control and edge integration simple for smaller systems.

Electric motors provide the motive force for many types of machinery and equipment. Sometimes standard AC and DC motors are operated at fixed speed, and other times they are driven using a variable frequency drive (VFD) or DC drive to vary the speed and acceleration. But to perform the powerful, rapid, accurate, and energy-efficient movement of parts and mechanisms associated with industrial machinery, electronic motion control becomes necessary.
