The Network Controller is an external controller that
drives 4 Nanomotor channels per unit.
The communication from a Client PC is done via Ethernet.
Output drivers are available with +/-35V or +/-45V
for different applications.
Digital I/O and Analog I/O are optional.
For closed loop operation a version with a high resolution
Position Measurement System (PMS) is available.

Each NWC is equipped with a backplane connector on the backside for support
and extended I/O.
The NWC operates in an Ethernet-based network. To connect it to your local
network, plug it into a Hub or more preferred into a Switch. It is also
connectable directly to a Windows-PC with a patch cable.
The NWC can be controlled with three different levels of software:
- A DLL for Windows 2000/XP and LabView
- The standard program NanoControl.EXE
- A comprehensive but very easy to use Process Control Seqeuncer for
automation by "drag and drop", including interface to a vision
system.
