* Programming
Our user-friendly programming language (A-SCRIPT) makes the PMX-4EX-SA one of the easiest stepper controllers to integrate into your automation system. The BASIC-like language is very intuitive, which eliminates the need for software experience to program our controller. PMX-4EX-SA also support multi-tasking, which allows you to run up to 4 standalone programs simultaneously.
To further enhance the user experience, we also support “drag-n-drop” programming, which allows a user to create a program without writing a single line of code.
For those interested in creating 2D motion profiles, our software package includes a DXF conversion tool that painlessly outputs your 2D DXF file into XY linear motion.
* I/O
Eight digital inputs/output can be used for digital IO processing. Using our user-friendly A-SCRIPT programming, the PMX-4EX-SA can be used for digital IO processing to act as a PLC in addition to a 4-axis controller.
Eight analog inputs can be used for measurement. These inputs can also be used to control up to four axes via joystick.
* Software Support
USB communication is provided for plug and play PC connectivity. RS-485 is also available for multi-dropping many units over PLC, HMI or PC.
Multiple USB drivers are available to support your desired platform. Platforms include 32/64-bit Windows, Windows CE and Linux.
USB libraries for software development are available for VB, VB.NET, C++, C#, MATLAB and LabVIEW, among others.
