Millennium Series Motion Controllers for Microstepping Motors for ISA-bus
Model
3m-0x-MS
The
Millennium stepping type multi-axis motion controllers model 3m-0x-MS
implement the Navigator MC24xx series chipsets - dedicated motion processors
from PMD. These controllers harness the power of the Navigator high-speed
DSP chip and incorporate ASIC and surface mount technologies. They can
install directly into a PC AT slot (ISA bus compatible) or can work
standalone communicating via a serial link. The Millennium controllers
are available in configurations of 1, 2 or 4 axes.
The DSP unit provides S-curve,
trapezoidal, velocity contouring and electronic gearing profiling modes
for Analog or PWM signal output. Onboard memory allows designers to
capture on-the-fly motion data for analyzing system performance and
diagnostic purposes. Motion trajectory segments can be blended into
continuous motion path in the velocity mode.
The boards interface to external
components via a 100 pin high density connector providing motor outputs
and reading pulsed encoder (incremental or absolute) for on-the-fly
motor stall detection, limit switches and home indicator input signals.
They are capable of handling eight analog inputs and eight user-defined
discrete I/Os.
The cards are supported by C-MotionPlus™
and CyberMotion™ - extensive C-language software libraries and
Windows and Linux drivers, which allow development of any motion'control
application. EasyMotion™, a GUI application package with the industry's
first ever MotionWizard, assists in a quick and easy way to set up and
tune even complex electro-mechanical systems.
The boards can be used in a variety
of industries, such as robotic, machine tool, semiconductor, medical,
food processing, textile and many others.
