The Danaher Motion / Superior Electric SLO-SYN MX2000 is a 32-bit DSP controller built for high-performance motion control in industrial automation systems. It simultaneously manages up to 8 step motor or servo axes with 7 concurrent tasks, delivering fully coordinated motion including linear and circular interpolation. The controller integrates a Texas Instruments TMS320C31 32-bit DSP operating at 33 MHz with 256 Kbytes of memory, interfacing with all SLO-SYN step motor drives up to 50,000 micro-steps per revolution and any analog or digital servo amplifier.

## Key Features
• Full coordinated motion control with linear and circular interpolation and splining
• Windows-based BASIC-like programming language with nested subroutines (16 levels) and looping
• Complete math function library
• Flash memory for program storage
• Comprehensive system parameter setup screens
• Optionally expand I/O with dedicated digital input/output boards or OPTO-22 style boards via two 50-pin headers (up to 48 additional I/O points)
## Typical Applications
• Multi-axis industrial machine control systems
• Coordinated step motor and servo drive automation
• Complex motion sequencing requiring concurrent task execution
## Compatibility & Integration
The MX2000 interfaces with all SLO-SYN step motor drives and analog/digital servo amplifiers. Dual serial ports support RS232 and RS485 communication protocols at configurable baud rates, enabling integration into networked automation environments.
