M-Series 4-Axis Module (ME4/MP4)

Compact, four-axis, high-performance servo drives with versatile motor support and comprehensive connectivity

The M-Series 4-Axis Module delivers exceptional performance and flexibility in a compact form factor, supporting stepper, brushless, brush, linear, voice coil, and programmable motors across four configurable axes. Advanced FPGA technology provides significant cost reduction per node while maintaining high-precision control. The ME4 features EtherCAT communication while the MP4 provides CANopen connectivity, both operating under industry-standard motion control protocols. Multiple control modes including cyclic position/velocity/torque, profile positioning, and interpolated position enable versatile application deployment. The series supports both servo and microstepping modes with comprehensive feedback options for optimal motion performance.
