Re: Gecko's ok on a switching power supply

Hi,

One of our OEM customers, a medical division of GE, uses G201s for
motion control in one of the diagnostic machines they produce. They
use a stock "off the shelf" 24VDC switching power supply with
complete reliability. Their testing and qualification procedures are
exhaustive and meticulous.
