Overview- CM3+: Standard model. Servo motor which enables to build a system.
- CM3M: Modbus RTU (RS485) compatible model. A PLC or PC can be used as a master, and up to 32 axes can be connected as slaves.
- CM3: Low-cost innovative model with improved torque and high-speed performance from CM1 to achieve servo-equivalent performance with a stepping motor.
- CM2: High-end model. Extensive functions such as PLC function, daisy-chain, interpolation function, etc.
- CM1: Legacy model. Long seller with better resolution, quietness, and functionality compared to CM3.
