The Allen-Bradley 4100-214-RL is an IMC S Class Integrated Motion Controller for 4 axes. It can supply 90 to 132 Volts AC or 175 to 264 Volts AC power. Its maximum input current is 5 Amps. This motion controller can handle up to four axes in a closed-loop positioning control system. This control can implement various sophisticated curves (parabolic, trapezoidal, and an S-curve). Acceleration and deceleration methods are supported with multi-axis positioning interpolation process controlled by a microprocessor. This IMC S Class device supports 20 dedicated discrete inputs (5 each for Axis 0, 1, 2, and 3) and 8 dedicated outputs (2 each for Axis 0, 1, 2, and 3). It has special features like the remote I/O adapter (communication option) and AxisLink (Multi-Axis synchronization link). The 4100-214-RL can be connected with up to four incremental encoders which would deliver position and velocity feedback to the controller.

The Allen-Bradley 4100-214-RL has 2 serial ports (RS232 and RS422) on the front side of the device, and each channel can be configured with an internal switch. There are also signaling lamps (“system ok” and “reset”) and a memory locking key on the front panel. Many other great options include phase shifting, auto-correction, and auto-registration abilities for the controller to achieve many complex motions. The Allen-Bradley 4100-214-RL can work with surrounding air temperatures between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). For better heat transfer, it uses an integrated fan (which takes air from the bottom side of the device). Its enclosure has dimensions of 13 inches x 11 inches x 6 inches (330 millimeters x 265 millimeters x 155 millimeters). Its weight is approximated at 25 pounds (11.3 kilograms).
