Outline of FQM1 Flexible Motion Controller
The FQM1 (Flexible Quick Motion) is a stand-alone Flexible Motion Controller
that can be used to create flexible high-speed, high-precision motion control
systems for 2 to 8 axes.
Flexible Configurations of 
Up To 8 Axes
An FQM1 Flexible Motion Controller System is made up of a Power Supply
Unit, a Coordinator Module, one or more Motion Control Modules, and an End
Module.
Motion Control Modules are available with either pulse I/O or analog I/O, and
a mixture of up to four Motion Control Modules can be included in one system
(up to three if only analog I/O Motion Control Modules are used.) A flexible
system ideal for the application can be created because each Motion Control
Module controls two axes, giving total motion control of eight axes when four
Motion Control Modules are connected.
High-speed Processing
Each Motion Control Module and Coordinator Module has independent ladder
programming, allowing high-speed independent control of pulse and analog
I/O. Data can be shared between all Modules. The Coordinator Module per-
forms general-purpose I/O control and manages overall system operation.
