The Automation Motion Server is available in panel-mount and rack-mount versions. The panel-mount version is designed for integration into a control cabinet.

The slotted “key-hole” mounting pattern makes for easy insertion and removal from the cabinet, and a liquid cooled heat-sink and solid-state disk-drive ensure reliable operation up to 50°C. The rack-mounted version is available in 1U and 4U heights with rear-accessible internal PCI expansion capability.

Communicate with EtherCAT or PROFINET fieldbus I/O with an optional universal dual-port Ethernet adapter. A real-time enabled Ethernet port can also be installed to communicate with intelligent cameras and other peripherals through Modbus®/TCP.
