ZMP-SynqNet Controllers
MEI’s ZMP-SynqNet controllers are an ultra-performance SynqNet® motion controller that provides machine builders with the ultimate in high-performance motion control. The 64-bit ZMP controller from MEI utilizes the Motorola MPC8245 PowerPC processor for optimum flexibility and speed. With a significant increase in processing power, the ZMP family of controllers are optimized to work with MEI’s MechaWare™ for the ultimate in precision control schemes.

SynqNet motion control networks provide a 100Mbps synchronous real-time connection between motion controllers and torque drives, stepper drives, and I/O modules. SynqNet is the only high-speed digital motion control network that offers fault tolerance, real-time node data collection, firmware downloads, wide servo vendor support, and requires no network programming. The ZMP-SynqNet controllers offer servo update rates up to 24kHz, allowing optimum control of machines requiring high levels of coordination and synchronization between axes.

The ZMP controller family is compatible with the Motion Programming Interface (MPI). And code developed for XMP-SynqNet series controllers is compatible with all ZMP-SynqNet controllers.
