The newly designed CMS-100 CosmoNet is said to be an advanced, single-axis stepper-motor controller that provides high-speed microprocesssing capability from a fully integrated USB 2.0 logic controller. Its primary function is to program and employ local network connectivity between the user PC and the motor-control system. No external power supply is needed for CMS-100, which reportedly is compliant with all industry-standard NEMA-sized step motors of 2-phase and 5-phase types.
