ADLINK Technology’s PCI-8154 is a cost-effective 4-axis pulse train modularized motion control card for controlling steppers, servos, and linear motors.
The PCI-8154 delivers high-frequency pulse rates of up to 6.55 MHz and features a hardware-controlled emergency stop to terminate movement in case of system malfunction, a software security protection to prevent illegal copying of custom software, and a card index switch to support multiple PCI-8154 cards in a single system.
Compatible with Mitsubishi, Panasonic, and Yaskawa servos and steppers, the PCI-8154 allows for movement through multiple axes with linear and circular interpolations using continuous contouring thus providing smooth motion control for a wide-range of manufacturing applications.
The PCI-8154 also offers 13 homing modes to support a variety of applications, backlash compensation for improved movement accuracy, and performs simultaneous starting and stopping of multiple axes in a single card or multiple card configuration.
The modularized design of the PCI-8154 supports extension boards that can be attached for distributed I/O control, high-speed triggering, and ECAM control. Combining centralized 4-axis motion control and distributed I/O via the extension board simplifies integration by reducing controller requirements. With a high-speed triggering extension board, the triggering output frequency can reach 2 MHz and the on-board SDRAM can store many more compare points making it ideal for high line rate line scan applications.
