The CONEX rotation units can be connected via daisy chain to create either multi-axis DC systems or multi-axis PP systems. For added convenience, the power can be shared with up to 5 CONEX-CC modules using the optional CONEX-PS-CB power chain cable. This allows for a convenient low cost multi-axis system. Additionally, analog and digital inputs can be implemented into the controller through the CONEX-IOD.

For out-of-the box control, the CONEX controller is preconfigured and delivered with the motion device. To start moving a sample or sensor, it simply requires plugging in the power supply, connecting the USB communication and starting the free motion GUI.

The low-noise linear amplifier of the CONEX-CC provides the optimum drive solution for low-power DC motors; delivering smoother motion, with less electrical noise and significantly less motor heating.

3 different rotation stages are available to choose from to address critical parameters that fit a variety of applications. For example, the MIM differs between stages ranging from 0.001° to 0.02°. On the other hand, speed ranges from 4 °/s to 20 °/s.

Advanced application programming is simplified by using mnemonic ASCII commands. Newport provides a free GUI that allows the user to access and execute over 60 intuitive ASCII commands. Alternatively, additional drivers are available for LabVIEW™ as well as communication DLL’s for other languages.

Communication with the CONEX controller and PC is achieved via the integrated USB interface, providing a fast ubiquitous communication protocol. For OEM's or security sensitive applications, RS-232 and RS-485 are embedded onto the controller.
