Multi-Axis Motion Hub with I/O
Features
Description
• Networks all Applied Motion Stepper or Servo Si™
• For real time execution of commands down-
• Programmable for stand alone single or multi-
• Communication via RS232
• Four optically isolated programmable inputs
• Four optically isolated programmable outputs
• Optional DIN rail mounting kit
The SiNet™ Hub 444 allows up to 4 Stepper or
Servo Si™ drives to be controlled in host mode
from a single PC or PLC’s RS-232 serial port or will
run in stand-alone mode.
Each indexer-drive acquires its unique address from
the port to which it is connected. This simple ad-
dressing scheme minimizes the cost of the drives,
and more importantly, the cost of configuring and/or
replacing drives in your system. Connections are
made with low cost, reliable telephone cabling.
Any of our popular, cost effective programmable
Stepper or Servo Si™ drives or Si™ motor controls
can be used with the SiNet™ Hub 444. By choosing
the power level and features you need for each axis
of your application, SiNet™ can provide a cost ef-
fective single or multi-axis motion solution.
The SiNet™ Hub 444 is powered by the drive that’s
connected to port #1, saving you the cost and in-
stallation expense of using a separate power sup-
ply. Our Si™ Command Language (SCL) allows a
host PC or PLC to execute relative, absolute and
homing moves, make status inquiries, sample in-
puts, set outputs, and more.

Recommended Drives
If your application requires a single axis to operate
in “host mode”, you can connect any of our pro-
grammable Si™ drives directly to your PC via the
SiNet Hub 444 and invoke the Si™ Command Lan-
guage (SCL).
Our SiNet Programmer™ Windows software allows
the user to create and store multi-axis motion con-
trol programs in the SiNet™ Hub 444 and run them
without a PC. Thus allowing the user to create a
complex multi-axis motion system controlled from
an operator interface or trigger.
