There are also new opportunities for computer platforms with serial communication, via USB or RS232, using Windows or Linux. The existing libraries for Intel/AMD (Windows 32/64-Bit, Linux 32-Bit) are further extended with a Linux 64-Bit version, with additional support of 32-Bit ARMv6/v7 solutions allows the broad scale use of trend platforms, such as Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone.

Easy integration into a master system plays a crucial role in the success of the EPOS2. The choice of master system is freely available, using extensively documented maxon libraries to make integration of EPOS2 slave drive controllers a quick and simple task.

maxon motor is offering free EPOS training on February 5 2015 at the company's UK offices in Finchampstead, telephone 01189 733 337 to register.
