Abstract: A multi-axis motor controller is provided wherein connectors made to common specifications are provided on a multi-drive control unit of a motor drive control section operated by DC power received from a power supply unit, servo amplifier units and an interface unit. The connectors made to common specifications are used to interconnect the units by local bus cables and enable signals to be sent and received by serial transmission as desired among the units. This architecture simplifies the electrical interconnection among the units and lowers cost without sacrificing freedom of unit layout.
