The 1756-M02AE ControlLogix Analog Motion Module from Rockwell Automation is a specialized 2-axis servo motion control module designed for ControlLogix systems requiring ±10V analog command output, encoder feedback, and high-precision motion control integration.
It is widely used in packaging machines, CNC-style automation, robotics subsystems, and legacy servo drive applications, where motion is controlled through analog velocity or torque references rather than full digital servo networks.
This module is part of Rockwell’s classic ControlLogix motion portfolio and is often found in installed-base systems and retrofit industrial automation architectures.
