Coordination of motion
The E-713 motion controller coordinates the motion of up to 3 logical axes. Axis motion is based on up to 3 PiezoWalk® channels and 3 sensor channels. Users can easily command axis motions as the controller handles conversion between axis-related and channel-related values as well as algorithm-based control of PiezoWalk® PICMAWalk walking drives.
Analysis and automation
The flexibly configurable data recorder can be used to record operating data such as motor control, velocity, position, or position error. Execution of macros on the controller facilitates standalone operation.
Fast periodic motion
The integrated wave generator can save periodic motion profiles and output them. During fast periodic motion, such as that typical for scanning applications, for example, it is possible to increase tracking accuracy through optional dynamic digital linearization (DDL) by up to three orders of magnitude.
Extensive software assistance
PI's user software enables fast startup with no programming skills needed as well as graphic depiction of signals and operations. Furthermore, there is an extensive set of drivers available, e.g., for use with C, C++, C#, Python, NI LabVIEW, or MATLAB.
Scope of delivery
The scope of delivery includes the controller and a software package. It is recommended to order PICMAWalk walking drives together with the controller so that the components can be adapted to each other.

An output channel corresponds to what is known as a PiezoWalk® channel. Internally, up to 4 amplifier channels of the motion controller may be involved in controlling the drive through the PiezoWalk® channel.
The specified input channels are sensor channels.
The maximum output power is limited by the power supply of the housing and the number of available channels.
