The new C-600 is a highly advanced, easy to use multi-axis motion controller for automation, precision measurements or general positioning tasks in research and industry. 

The controller is based on a high speed, 32-bit, Infineon DSP processor for high-precision synchronized control and program/command handling. The integrated drivers for four stepper motors (2 or 4 phase, 1.5 A max.) simplify system set-up and provide improved reliability. 

The C-600 simultaneously operates up to 4 axes and supports complex 2D and 3D trajectories (synchronized circular & linear interpolation) and continuous path contouring, a must for high precision measurement tasks and complex motion profiling. In addition, the controller features up to 20,000 steps/rev. micro-step technology for ultra-smooth, high-resolution motion at step frequencies to 200 kHz.

Programming the C-600 is a easy. The controller's unique MotionBASICTM online and offline IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is intuitive and allows powerful, complex programs to be written and downloaded to the controller with minimum effort. MotionBASICTM is a combination of the unsurpassed functionality of a modern general purpose BASIC programming language and the G-code language used in CNC machines. 
The C-600 provides non-volatile flash RAM to hold up to 8000 lines of MotionBASICTM program code and data. User defined motion libraries make the C-600 a versatile automation device covering all features of traditional PLC controllers. 

Further, the C-600 features a backlit LCD display and a user-friendly, front panel operated menu system for manual positioning, execution of complex motion programs or system configuration. Four LED’s provide system status information.

Synchronizing motion with events internal and external to the controller (e.g. firing a laser) is easily achieved with one or more of the 12 digital I/O (TTL). Four additional power outputs provide 200 mA current, e.g. for direct motor brake control etc. The C-600 even supports analog data acquisition via 2 A/D input channels. 

Since the controller’s firmware resides in flash RAM, it can simply be updated by downloading allowing users to benefit from continually added features without the need for factory return or even opening the case. 

Communication is via a serial RS232 interface for universal connectivity.  The integrated power supply provides a wide range of operating voltages (85-240 V) for universal usage, another decisive benefit for OEM customers. 

This controller is compatible with all PI 2/4 phase stepper motor driven micropositioning system.
