If Integrated Controller is selected, the XY stage will use X-LSQ stages with built-in controllers. These can be controlled independently for applications where the final XY position matters but the path taken does not. Switching to an X-MCC controller will keep the same motor power, but allow you to command smooth, synchronized movements with tools such as PVT path planning. The X-MCC is also wired for E-stop compatibility and has digital and analog I/O for interfacing with external hardware.

The minimum number of axes required for coordinated motion is 2. Select an X-MCC3 or X-MCC4 if you need to control additional axes or want to coordinate motion between the stages and additional devices.
