The CPM2A is suitable as a controller for simple stand-alone machines, as well as a simple networked controller. One innovation is the new synchronisation instruction, which makes it possible to generate output pulse trains as a function of an input pulse frequency, e.g. to emulate the synchronisation of 2 axes through a variable gear ratio. Furthermore, PID control and pulse width modulation can also be realised easily by preconfigured instructions. The small size, DIN rail mounting and the removable terminal blocks allow it to be quickly mounted in a control cabinet.
