Can an Intelligent ViX-In Be Programmed as a Drive?

Yes and no. The ViX-In is set based on the flash memory as an intelligent drive.

The unit can be sent to the factory with a return material authorization number (RMA), available through your local Parker ATC for conversion.

The ViX cannot unfortunately be reprogrammed in the field.

However, if you want it to follow a step & direction signal like a stepper drive, see this FAQ:
