ESP refers to Newport stages with an EEPROM (ESP chip), that contains all stage
information like motor type, travel limits, maximum speeds, etc. The SMC100CC/PP is
capable reading this information from the stage and can save it to the controller's flash
memory. This minimizes the stage configuration time and possible errors during
configuration. The SMC100CC/PP can also be configured to confirm at each power-up
that the connected stage is the same as the one recorded in the controller's memory,
which is another safety feature.
