Millennium Series
Motion Controllers for Stepper Motors for PC/104-bus
Model
3mc-0x-S
The PC/104-bus cards of the Millennium series are
high performance feature-rich multi axis motion controllers, ideal for
embedded system applications. The 3mc-0x-S model implements the Navigator
MC25xx series chipsets - dedicated motion processors from PMD to control
stepper motors. These controllers harness the power of the Navigator
high-speed DSP chip and incorporate ASIC and surface mount technologies.
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 Pulse
and Direction 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 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.
