The main difference between IONI and IONI Pro is that Pro model will get more advanced functions as downloadable upgrades.

Available exclusive IONI Pro features
  • SinCos 1 Vp-p encoder support
  • Motor torque cogging & ripple compensation
  • Notch filter for advanced vibration damping
  • Power consumption limit (useful with switch mode power supplies)
  • Homing function and soft travel limits that work in all control modes, not just position control mode
  • Torque mode effects: damping, friction and inertia (useful in simulator applications)
  • SimuCUBE simulator motherboard support
  • Serial encoder support
The planned IONI Pro features are


The planned features are implemented as user downlodable firmware. Firmware upgrades are free.
