Compact, all-in-one controller is the core hardware of the InoWorxâ„¢ Motion Control Platform

Cardinal Kinetic will showcase its latest motion control innovations at SPS 2025, taking place September 16-18, 2025, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. The company will highlight InoDrive, a compact, all-in-one motion control card engineered for precise, real-time control of brushless DC servo motors.

InoDrive combines the functions of a servo amplifier, motion controller, and logic engine in a single, space-saving unit, reducing hardware requirements and streamlining system design. It is the core hardware component of the company's InoWorx Motion Control Platform, which provides a unified hardware and software environment for building, scaling, and managing motion systems.

"InoDrive allows machine builders to simplify motion control without giving up performance or flexibility," said Will Morgan, Director of Product Development at Cardinal Kinetic. "It eliminates layers of complexity that can slow development, and it's designed to drop into new or existing systems with minimal effort."

The InoWorx platform pairs InoDrive with the InoWorx Programmer, a visual, drag-and-drop interface that replaces coding and ladder logic with an intuitive configuration process. Users can quickly create motion sequences, graphically test and visualize configurations before deployment, and run systems without the need for separate PLCs or third-party software, while still retaining the option to integrate with a PLC or PC when an application calls for it. For applications requiring coordinated multi-axis movement, InoSyncâ„¢ technology keeps multiple InoDrive modules synchronized without external controls. This simplifies electronic gearing or coupling applications to be as easy as controlling a single motor.

With a compact form factor that conserves space and construction designed to withstand harsh environments, InoDrive supports up to 400 watts continuous power (1 kW peak) and operates across a wide input voltage range. Standard features include dual-channel STO, overcurrent protection, temperature monitoring, and fault diagnostics. Cloud-based updates ensure systems always run the latest software without manual intervention.

SPS attendees can see live demonstrations of InoDrive in booth 1518 and speak with Cardinal Kinetic's technical team about applications in automation, robotics, packaging, materials handling, and retrofits.
