Introduction
The MNET-GP is a single-axis motion control module for Motionnet distributed motion system.
It is compatible with any servo drive, particularly stepper drives. The compact size of the MNET-
GP reduces space requirements for motion system control and saves wiring and system assembly
costs. To increase connectivity of motor drives, ADLINK provides both dedicated control modules
and the MNET-GP general purpose single-axis module. Simple connection is enabled to any stepper
drive and other servo drives. The Motionnet bus can support up to 64 single-axis modules in-line.
