AC/DC Input Drivers with EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT Communications

Torrance, CA – March 10, 2020

Oriental Motor is pleased to announce the latest addition to the AZ Series family of single axis stored data drivers, which now includes AC and DC input. Both input types are available with EtherNet/IP or EtherCAT communication.
