The AT6250 and AT6450 are multi-processor-based, two-axes and four-axes servo controllers designed to be inserted into a single open ISA expansion slot. They provide sophisticated control of any Compumotor servo motor/drive or any standard +/-10V analog input servo drive system. In addition to the controller, a separate auxilliary board simplifies connections with encoders, motor drives, joystick, limits, and programmable I/O.

The AT6250 and AT6450 come standard with Motion ArchitectTM support software for Microsoft WindowsTM. Motion ArchitectTM allows easy creation and implementation of motion programs. DLLs are provided for Microsoft WindowsTM development.

The AT6250 and AT6450 use the proven 6000 Series command language. The 6000 command language is powerful enough to solve the most complex applications yet its basic like structure will not overwhelm a novice programmer
