Delta launches three CODESYSbased motion controllers , increasing AX-3 series scalability
Motion controller portfolio now supports range from 4 to 64 axes
Delta has recently launched the AX-304EL , AX-316E , and AX-364EL motion controllers to complement the existing AX-308E motion controller . AX-3 series motion controllers offer a CODESYS development environment to enable intelligent industrial automation applications . Compatibility with Delta AS Series IO products and support for major industrial communication protocols including EtherCAT and MODBUS .
Delta released the AX-308E as the first CODESYS-based motion controller in the AX-3 series , which was an immediate success . To fulfill the need for controllers that could handle more than 8 axes as well as a more costefficient model beneath it , the new AX-3 series models are now being introduced . Alongside the AX-8 series , Delta now offers extremely costcompetitive solutions across a broad range of automation scenarios .
FLEXIBLE USABILITY , HIGH PERFORMANCE AND SEAMLESS COMMUNICATION
The new controllers expand Delta ’ s motion portfolio and enable single-axis movements as well as synchronous multi-axis motion such as gearing , ECAMs , and interpolation . IO capabilities are integrated into the motion controller but can also be implemented using external Delta ASseries modules for remote input / output setups .
The AX-304EL , AX-316E , and AX- 364EL support up to 4 , 16 and 64 axes respectively and offer an EtherCAT master , 2 Ethernet ports , serial ports ,

16 built-in digital inputs , and 8 digital outputs . The AX-3 series motion controllers are compatible with the common communication protocols OPC UA , Modbus and Ethernet / IP . As the CODESYS AX-3 Series is an evolving and growing product series , the goal is to offer more communication protocols as well as more advanced product .
FASTER TIME-TO-MARKET WITH DIADESIGNER-AX
DIADesigner-AX software integrates
CODESYS into Delta ’ s DIAStudio software platform . The environment provides support from the planning stage through execution and commissioning , easing the implementation of both simple and complex motion control , including single- and multi-axis movements , gearing , ECAMs and interpolation . It also helps ensure compliance with international standards such as IEC 61131-3 and PLCopen . Software developers will benefit from integrated tools including an oscilloscope , simulator , and CAM design editor .
The AX-304EL , AX-316E , and AX- 364EL motion controllers are now available throughout the EMEA region .
