Parker: Universal Motion Controller (6K Motion)
The 6K Compumotor’s revolutionary 6K Controller is an embedded motion controller or stand-alone motion controller built into one convenient package. The 6K is a multi-axis motion controller capable of solving basic to complex motion control applications including: pick-and-place, packaging, following, cam profiling and hundreds of others. The 6K utilizes Ethernet communications to allow high speed connections to many different products such as PLCs, HMIs, I/O modules and vision systems.

Universal Connectivity
The 6K is truly universal, providing industry standard +/- 10V or step-and-direction output. It is capable of controlling any combination of steppers and servos from 1 to 8 axes. With its Ethernet capability, the 6K offers a flexible communication scheme compatible with hundreds of Ethernet devices on the market. From HMIs and PLCs to industrial I/O and vision systems, the 6K can connect to them all. Ethernet is a vendor-neutral, industry-accepted communication protocol, and it is very inexpensive to implement. The addition of fieldbus options (6K Profibus-DP and 6K DeviceNet) offer connectivity to PLCs and PCs using industry-standard protocols and hardware.
