ION® Digital Drives
ION® Digital Drives are compact, fully enclosed modules that provide high performance motion control, network connectivity and power amplification. Two overall power output levels are available; the ION 500 is rated at 500 Watts and the ION 3000 is rated at 3,000 Watts. Variants to the standard ION models include the ION/CME, that allows users to run code directly on the ION itself, and the ION/B, which is a low-cost, +/- analog version of the ION.
All IONs can drive DC brush, brushless DC and step motors, and are ideal for medical, scientific, semiconductor, robotic, industrial and other automation applications.
