JetControl-VM

Virtual controllers

The JetControl-VM offers all functions that are also available through real controllers: Registers, motion control commands (MCX Motion Control Extended), oscilloscope function, all TCP/IP-based communication including OPC UA (server and client), OS update, FTP, MQTT and Modbus TCP.

The user benefits from cost savings in creating programs, troubleshooting, testing and commissioning. The need for expensive test hardware is also eliminated and the timeto-market is shortened significantly.

Each order of a virtual JetControl-VM comes with a USB stick that includes the copy protection for the software license. This makes it possible to download any JetControl-VM from the Bucher Automation homepage, then to program it, test it and place it in operation.
