Product Description
The XPS is an extremely high-performance, easy to use, integrated motion controller/driver offering high-speed communication through 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, outstanding trajectory accuracy and powerful programming functionality. It combines user-friendly web interfaces with advanced trajectory and synchronization features to precisely control the most complex to the most basic motion sequences. Multiple digital and analog I/O's, triggers and supplemental encoder inputs provide users with additional data acquisition, synchronization and control features that can improve the most demanding motion applications.
Proprietary universal driver modules allow the XPS to drive 1 to 8 axes of any Newport actuator, linear or rotary stage. By using pass-through drive modules, the XPS is also capable of controlling many other motion devices, whether they use stepper, DC brush, DC brushless rotary or linear, voice coil or piezoelectric actuation.

Refer to the Stage and Controller Compatibility Table (Stage and Controller Compatibility) for a complete list of compatible Newport stages.
1) To order an XPS controller, specify the controller and the drive modules by separate part numbers. For example, for an 8-axis XPS controller with 3 drive modules for ILS stages, one drive module for an IMS300CCHA stage and one pass-through module, the correct part numbers are:

1 x XPS-C8

3 x XPS-DRV01

1 x XPS-DRV03

1 x XPS-DRV00

The XPS controller in the above example can still drive 3 more stages. Additional drive modules can be ordered under the same part numbers. An upgrade from a 4-axis controller to a 6-axis controller requires a factory return.

2) Customized training programs are available upon request.
