Programmable logic controller is usually a stand-alone device where operator can write programs to do various things, such as control I/O signals and generate motion setpoint signals. Many PLC's are motion control capable and are a suitable choice also for Granite Devices drives. | Programmable logic controller is usually a stand-alone device where operator can write programs to do various things, such as control I/O signals and generate motion setpoint signals.

Any programmable device (such PC or microcontroller) can act as controller if a suitable connection to drive is available. For example [[SimpleMotion V2]] can be used as such connection as it provides easy connection between PC (USB or RS485) and Granite Devices motor drives. | Any programmable device (such PC or microcontroller) can act as controller if a suitable connection to drive is available.
