When a PLC system is used as a control device, although it has the flexibility and certain universality of a PLC system,
it is difficult to achieve or program for high-precision requirements such as interpolation control and sensitive response,
and the cost may be high. In this case, a motion controller can be used.
With the advancement and accumulation of technology, motion controllers have emerged, which solidify some universal
and special motion control functions, such as interpolation instructions. Users only need to configure and call these functional blocks or instructions, which reduces programming difficulty and has advantages in performance, cost, and other aspects.
It can also be understood as follows: the use of PLC is a common motion control device. A motion controller is a special type of PLC specifically designed for motion control.
