Regardless of the selected platform and number of axes, all Mx4 products use state-of-the-art Multi-DSP technology and share the same programming language. The high performance Mx4 motion controller boards are available in several different configurations to suit your control, performance and price requirements. While Mx4 provides the computer control for up to 4 axes (stand alone or bus level), Mx4 Octavia supports programming for up to 8 axes all on the same PC card. .
