SANYO DENKI Develops SANMOTION C S300 Motion Controller Featuring High Performance, Scalability, and Enhanced Security
November 26, 2025
SANYO DENKI CO., LTD. has expanded its motion controller lineup with the development of the SANMOTION C S300 Motion Controller, which can control up to 32 axes(1) with a 1 ms cycle time. It is suitable for production lines requiring precise multi-axis control, as well as spring forming machines and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
Motion controller
Scalable I/O module
Combined configuration with expansion module
Features
1. Compact, High-Performance Motion Controller
This compact controller delivers four times the control performance of our conventional product,(2) enabling 1 ms cycle control of up to 32 axes. Enhanced control performance and smaller design contributes to improved productivity and space saving of the equipment.
2. High Scalability
Digital outputs have been increased to 16 points, twice that of our conventional product.(3) Additional I/O can be added using a scalable I/O module (32 digital inputs / 32 digital outputs).
Communication between expansion modules uses EtherCAT, enabling high-speed data exchange and contributing to overall system performance.
3. Secure System Configuration
Enhanced security features prevent unauthorized software access, ensuring safe and reliable system operation. The controller software can be easily updated, helping maintain a secure system environment at all times.
4. Troubleshooting Using Videos and Control Data
The controller can record both equipment operation video and synchronized motion data from connected servo motors and servo amplifiers. By analyzing visual and numerical data together, users can perform more accurate diagnostics and troubleshooting.
(1) Axis refers to a machine’s drive axes—linear or rotational. Systems with more axes can perform more complex, multi-directional motion.
(2) Compared with our conventional SANMOTION C S200 Motion Controller (max. 8 axes, 8 ms cycle time)
(3) Compared with our conventional SANMOTION C S200 Motion Controller (16 digital inputs / 8 digital outputs)
