The Serial Command Language (SCL) or Streaming Command Language, as it is often called, provides a real time communication link to many of Applied Motion Products’ stepper and servo products. The commands that comprise the SCL command set allow for configuration, motion control, I/O control, and status queries over a network connection such as Ethernet or serial RS-232/422/485. Recently added SCL commands support new features and functionality on the StepSERVO and SV200 servo drive products.

Applied Motion Products, Inc., designers and manufacturers of StepSERVO™ Closed Loop Integrated Motors, announced today the appointment of Control & Motion, Inc. (CMI) as manufacturer’s representative for all of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee.

A premier postal sorting machine OEM in the northeastern United States has developed a machine to automatically sort irregularly sized mail items that traditionally have been sorted by hand. Representatives from Minarik Corporation (part of Kaman Automation, Inc.) and Applied Motion Products began working with the OEM early in the design stages, providing guidance on motor sizing and selection as well as prototype units for research and development purposes. Today the OEM has moved into production with the design, having already shipped several machines, and the StepSERVO integrated motors that have been implemented in the design are performing excellently, with more than 2000 motors in the field so far.

In conjunction with the expansion of our successful line of StepSERVO™ closed loop integrated motors, we recently conducted a sales competition for our North American distribution partners. The competition was designed to award the individual distributor salespeople who successfully installed the greatest number of StepSERVO integrated motors over a six-month time period. The competition was a huge success, with a higher-than-expected number of distributor salespeople participating and a wide range of new customers for these high performance products.
