1.4 System Overview
The Enhanced System Performance (ESP) architecture consists of the
ESP300 Controller/Driver and ESP-compatible stages. The ESP300 is
an advanced stand-alone controller with integrated motor drivers. It
can control and drive up to 3 axes of motion in any stepper and DC
motor configuration.
The ESP plug-and-play concept significantly increases user
friendliness and improves overall motion performance.
The ESP300 is used as a stand-alone controller to drive an ESP
motion device. All components are designed for optimal performance.
