The SoftLogix Controller The SoftLogix controller is the main component in the SoftLogix system. It
supports sequential and motion functions, and it performs all of the motion
command execution and motion trajectory planner functions. You can use one
or more SoftLogix controllers in each chassis, and each controller can control
up to 32 axes of motion.
The SoftLogix controller provides the following motion support:
• A high-speed motion task, which manages motion functions and
generates move profiles
• The ability to control up to 16 Analog/Encoder servo modules for a
total of 32 axes
• SERCOS support
