Synchronous control
In addition to synchronous control that replaces physical machine mechanisms such as gears, shaft, transmission and cam with software,
functions such as cam control, clutch and cam auto-generation are easily realized. Since synchronous control can be started and stopped
for each axis, programs can contain both synchronous control axes and positioning control axes.
Up to four axes can be synchronized to the synchronous encoder axis, enabling use with a variety of systems.

Canadian standards are permitted to carry the cUL Mark.
The EMC Directive is a directive that requires products to have "Capacity to
prevent output of obstructive noise that adversely affects external devices:
Emission damage" and "Capacity to not malfunction due to obstructive
noise from external source: Immunity".

2) LVD Directive (Low Voltage Directive)

The LVD Directive is enforced to distribute safe products that will not harm or
