The XPS is an extremely high-performance, user-friendly, integrated motion controller/driver offering convenient, high-speed communication through 10/100 Base-T Ethernet. With outstanding motion profiling, complex trajectory control, positioning accuracy and powerful programming functionality, the XPS is capable of addressing the most demanding motion applications for up to 8-axes, while supporting 30 users working simultaneously. Multiple digital and analog I/O\'s, triggers and supplemental encoder inputs provide users with additional data acquisition, two-axis synchronization and control features that make the XPS an ideal control hub. When networked, users can access the same controller from any place in the world for remote control, code development (.NET, LabVIEW, C++, Python etc..), data transfer or diagnostics, all without the requirement to download any software. XPS hardware provides extensive analog and digital I/O, as well as a deep and intuitive command set, making applications deployment easy and efficient. 

Proprietary universal driver modules allow the XPS to drive 1 to 8 axes of any Newport actuator, linear, rotary or NanoPositioning stage. By using pass-through drive modules, the XPS is also capable of controlling many other motion devices, whether they use stepper, DC brush, DC brushless rotary or linear, piezoelectric stacks or voice coil actuation.
