®
Joint kit. Our
regularly updated catalog provides an overview. The most current version with prices is

Controls
igus
®
GmbH does not sell motor controls (specifically no step motor controls), and also no
other electrical or electronic components. We use the following products in our lab and for
trials, with which we have had good experience:
• NANOTEC
®
step motor controls, SMCI47-S
• SIEMENS
®
SPS controls, S7-1200
In cooperation with WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co.KG, a Germany-based
manufacturer of automation and interconnection products, a solution for controlling the
robolink
®
system is available since autumn 2014. The modular WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750
with its industrial design is used as a stand alone unit for the control of the stepper drives.
The ready-made libraries and application notes provided by WAGO ensure an easy start-
up in CODESYS. Thus a user-specific solution for robolink
®
applications is only a small
step away. Due to the possibility of a seamless integration of the IME software any
application is possible with minimum engineering input.
Further Information about control solutions will be published by igus in 2015.
