A recent addition to the Oriental Motor product line is an EtherNet/IP driver, specifically designed to be compatible with their flagship AZ series of closed loop stepper motors. By enabling EtherNet/IP communications, the AZ series of motors can easily be controlled with the use of just one EtherNet/IP cable. A quick and simple configuration which will result in easier control of the motor.

EtherNet/IP is now one of the most dominant communications systems in the automation industry, and Oriental Motor found that to be the case with many of their customers' preferred control systems. They are delighted to have now removed the incompatibility barrier and be able to market their flagship AZ Series products as being EtherNet/IP compatible.
