ORION® Industrial PC-based Controllers
The ORION® family of products is a fully integrated set of
hardware and software products for servo-driven automation
control projects. ORION® utilizes industry-standard hardware (PC
motherboards including Intel architecture processors up to the
Pentium 233 MMX and Ethernet adapters) plus open standards
(IEEE-1394, PC Cards and TCP/IP communications) to create
value for customers. (pgs. 8-9,16)

ORION® controllers utilize the ServoWireTM drive
network to implement a 200 Mbps all-digital network for
real-time servo communications. ServoWireTM eliminates
the +10 volt analog interface & dramatically reduces total
installed system cost. (pgs. 8, 43-46)

COMMUNICATIONS

Overview on page 6.

ORION® Connectivity Options
QuickPanel Touchscreens
Hardware panels and design software for creating
effective touchscreen interfaces. Available in sizes
from 5 to 12.1 inches, QuickPanel touchscreens
provide a cost effective interface that is highly
integrated with the ORION® controller. (pg. 34)
