Motor Controller

Motor Controller Unit

Core controller for independent motor control. Unlimited daisy chain connection via DIP switch ID setting and RJ45 serial communication.

  • 48V DC Power Input
  • RJ45 Prev/Next Ports (Daisy Chain)
  • 48V BLDC 8-Pin Motor Output
  • S1/S2 Sensor Ports (DIP Configurable)
  • 8-Pin DIP Switch ID Setting
Hub Board

Communication Hub

Communication Hub

Hub that relays communication between PC/HMI and controller groups. Connects to upper systems via USB or Ethernet and manages multiple controller groups.

  • USB/Ethernet Upper Connection
  • Multiple RJ45 Output Ports
  • Real-time Status Monitoring
  • Protocol Conversion Function

System Features

Clear advantages over traditional PLC systems

No PLC Required

Motor control is possible with just the controller, without a separate PLC. System configuration is simplified and costs are reduced.

Daisy Chain Connection

Connect controllers serially with RJ45 cables. Wiring is simple and expansion is easy.

DIP Switch Configuration

Easily set controller ID and operation mode with 8-pin DIP switch. Configure on-site without software.

Real-time Monitoring

Check each controller's status in real-time with Power/Fault LEDs. Immediate response when issues occur.

Sensor Integration

Implement automation logic by directly connecting various sensors such as proximity sensors and limit switches through S1/S2 ports.

Scalability

Unlimited controllers can be connected serially. Simply expand by connecting cables when adding lines.
