Classification of motion controllers
The motion controller is the core of the entire motion control system, responsible for executing written programs, collecting on-site I/O signals, implementing various computational functions, controlling program flow and I/O devices, and communicating with the operation station and other on-site devices.

According to the core technology scheme classification of motion controllers:

According to the core technology solutions of motion controllers, they can be mainly divided into analog circuit based, microcontroller based, programmable controller based, general-purpose computer based, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) based, programmable logic device based, and digital signal processor (DSP) based types.

The motion controller is classified according to the controlled object:

According to the controlled object, motion controllers can be divided into stepper motor motion controllers, servo motor motion controllers, and motion controllers that can control both stepper motors and DC or AC servo motors.
