• Supports 0.5–3 A per axis (max 12 A total) for both 2‑phase and 5‑phase PKP/PK motors
• Encoder data capture & deviation detection: Position errors flagged by driver without need for host controller
• Automatic brake control & sensor power: Built-in control of electromagnetic brakes and sensor power, eliminating external circuitry
• Power separation & safety: External safety relay support, and operational monitoring via EtherCAT even if main power is off
• Inrush current suppression: Protects main supply circuits during power-on spikes
• MEXE02 software support: PC-based parameter editing, real-time monitoring, diagnostics, waveform capture, alarm management, and PDO analysis
