Motion control drive
GEN3 Series
ORMEC Systems Corp.
Note: The GEN3 family is fully supported and in production. For new applications, SMLC Motion Controllers are recommended.
Gen3
GEN3 is a family of integrated, multi-axis motion controllers that was introduced more than 15 years ago, and is still fully supported. Repeats of machines that use the GEN3 Motion Controller are still being produced, without the necessity of additional engineering time to convert to a new motion controller architecture.

Generation III Motion Controller Family
The GEN3 Model 20 and Model 40 controllers feature the MotionBASIC programming language, and are designed to meet the needs of particular applications. GEN3s are used in a wide range of industrial markets including packaging, converting, labeling, web & material handling, medical, pharmaceutical, as well as general assembly and winding.
Model 20 For 1 1/2 to 4 axis applications
Model 40 For 2 1/2 to 8 axis applications
Models 20 & 40 Networked in large multi-axis systems
Multi-Processor Architecture:
By tightly interfacing the controllers main processor with high-speed digital signal processor(s) on the DSP Axis Modules, GEN3 offers unsurpassed motion performance. A shared memory interface, utilizing dual port RAM, guarantees the fastest possible inter-processor communications.
