ADTECH Launched OMC-Open Motion Controller

ADTECH launched new product OMC (Open motion controller) based on the markets’ needs. It can meet the customized motion control project of customers. Users can modify their own processing instructions and script files. It greatly reduces development efforts and shortens the development cycle –these help users to save much time to handle complex motions. Serial port and internet access support both Modbus communication protocol and custom communications. It can be used in our motion controller ADT-8840, ADT-8848, ADT-8860.
The “Open” means:
Open Interface----users can develop the interface like doing that of PLC
Open function---users can custom processing instructions and manufacturing processes
Open port----users can custom the function of IO port
Its Characteristics as follows:

• Good time sensitive, easy development
• Stable functions
• Strong expansibility
• Continuous technique support
• Including three function module: Command parsing module, human-machine communication module, scripting module
