The communication protocol of the master controller, Factory Automation (FA) network, is converted to Oriental Motor's own RS-485 communication protocol. Connection to Oriental Motor's network compatible products is completed with one RS-485 communication cable.
*For use with Stored Data (Network) type drivers
At Oriental Motor, a device that outputs the pulse signals required to operate a stepper motor is called a "Controller". These products can perform various settings to control the motor and also permit connection with a programmable controller and sensors.
*The Controller products are designed to work with our Pulse Input type drivers.
Oriental Motor offers industrial network communication products under the FLEX concept, meaning each product is equipped with an interface that connects to various industrial networks and master controllers featuring I/O; such as PLC, HMI or serial communication such as RS-485 / Modbus (RTU).
FLEX is the generic name for products that are used for Factory Automation (FA) network control via I/O control, Modbus (RTU) control, or a network converter. FLEX products enable easy connection, easy control, and reduce the complexity of system configuration.
*The Network Gateway products are designed to work with our Built-in Controller (Stored Data) type drivers.
