The ultimate in safety

Each Foundation controller logs the use of the entire stage machinery system and the behaviors of each motor, while providing full diagnostics. If a fault occurs, the motors communicate the type and location of the fault via the large-format LCD screen.

Foundation also tracks the system's annual inspection schedule and records the moving distance, peak loads, and fault conditions for each motor since installation and last inspection.

• Automatic self-tests of all safety circuits
• Motor load-profiling: Stops movement at unexpected load conditions
• Motor-usage data statistics and service-interval reminders

Additional hardware options include

External emergency-stop (E-Stop) stations

Remote control

Handheld remote
