Description

Motion Engineering (MEI) PCX/DSP 1007-0011 16-bit ISA Motion Controller Simple Type: Motion Controller The PCX/DSP motion controller uses a powerful Analog Devices 40 MHz DSP to provide up to 8 axes of servo or stepper control in a single ISA bus slot. Hardware features include 16-bit servo outputs, encoder inputs to 5 MHz, 8 channels of 12-bit analog inputs, and up to 44 lines of user I/O. You program the PCX/DSP using MEI’s flexible C function libraries with over 250 motion control functions. MEI C libraries combine with compilers from Microsoft, Borland, Watcom, Symantec, and others to speed development of complex motion applications. The PCX/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 PCX/DSP allows motion control programs to share execution between the on-board DSP (for numericallyintensive real-time functions) and the host (for non-realtime functions). This results in an ideal division of labor with minimal host intervention. Download the datasheet (PDF)
