Description
Multi Axis Network Based Motion Controller
Elmo’s Gold Maestro is an advanced network based, multi-axis machine motion controller. The Gold Maestro controls any multi-axis scenario, from simple point-to-point motion to complete multi-axis coordinated or synchronized motion. Elmo’s Gold Maestro is based on years of industrial expertise in motion control engineering and on the most advanced algorithms in the industry.
When paired with Elmo’s Gold Line of servo drives, our distributed motion control system offers the highest results in the market.
Networking Standards
The Gold Maestro is based on EtherCAT and CANopen networking standards for
precise multi-axis control. Motion standards are based on the DS-301, DS-402, DS-406, and other motion standards. IOs and bus peripherals are also supported.
Programming and API Standards
Fast implementation is enabled using high-level, multi-axis programming environments such as IEC 61131-3, Microsoft .NET, Win32, Native C/C++ programming using the PLCopen for Motion API, and macro language.
