Bachmann ISI222 – Programmable Motion Control & Interface Module

Product Overview

The Bachmann ISI222 is a high-performance motion control module designed for precise management of two motion axes. Moreover, it integrates multiple encoder interfaces, analog outputs, and digital inputs for triggers or initiators. Its central communication concept allows all I/Os of the M200 system to be incorporated into motion control, ensuring seamless coordination with limit switches and other devices. This compact module supports input frequencies up to 8 MHz and I/O-Bus-Sync for highly dynamic and accurate positioning.
