Description

Motion Engineering PCI/DSP Motion Controller. C-programmable Motion Controller | 4 axis model | Shielded high-density connectors | Supports both servos and steppers Simple Type: Motion Controller The PCI/DSP uses a powerful Analog Devices DSP to provide 4 axes of servo or stepper control in a single PCI bus slot. Hardware features include 16-bit servo outputs, encoder inputs to 5 MHz, and 24 lines of opto-isolated user I/O. You program the PCI/DSP using MEI's flexible C function libraries with over 250 motion control functions. Combining MEI C libraries with compilers from Microsoft, Borland, Watcom, and others speeds development of complex motion applications. The PCI/DSP provides a rich set of software algorithms, including a sophisticated second-order PID control algorithm with velocity, acceleration, and friction feed-forward. Advanced features include electronic gearing and camming, dual-loop control, circular and linear interpolation, and trapezoidal, S-curve, parabolic, and custom motion profiles. The PCI/DSP allows motion control programs to share execution between the on-board DSP (for numerically intensive real-time functions) and the host (for non-real-time functions). This results in an ideal division of labor with minimal host intervention. Download the datasheet (PDF)
