The compact motion control system provides centralized or decentralized machine concepts for PC-based applications or for applications that require a compact size.  The PCs support communication over Profinet, as well as Ethernet interfaces that run at 10 / 100 / 1000 megabit speeds, and provide 4 USB interfaces.  A DVI port allows users to attach a display or monitor. The Simotion P320-3 can also be used in a "headless" configuration without a display, monitor or front panel.
