The Turbo ClipperTM controller (Turbo PMAC2-Eth-Lite) from Delta Tau provides a very powerful, but compact and cost-effective, multi-axis controller solution for cost sensitive applications. The Turbo Clipper is a full featured multi-axis controller with Ethernet (100 Mbit/sec), USB (2.0), and RS232 communication ports and built in I/O. It offers a full Turbo PMAC2-CPU and provides a minimum of four axes of servo or stepper control, a full compliment of motor I/O flags (5 in, 2 out), and 32-digital I/O points. The Turbo Clipper can be used completely standalone, with occasional commands from a host computer or PLC, or with real-time high-speed streaming of data over the Ethernet link. The Clipper can supply the most demanding of applications at a fraction of the cost previously possible.
