PMC motion controllers can control all types of brush/brushless servo and stepper motors. However, most PMC controllers do not directly drive the motors. Our controllers are designed to send precise low-current command-and-control signals to one or more external servo amplifiers or stepper drives. It is these external amplifiers/drives that power the motors and which determine the type and size of motors that can be controlled. The only exception is our DCX-PCI 100 controller, which features on-board power amplifiers that can drive miniature DC servo motors directly.
