PC-P48-control-axis-dsp

P48 motion control

for 2 motor axes with integrated digital I/Os
ISA bus

  • Precision control of MOTORS of the following types: BRUSHLESS, DC, AC (Inverter), Stepper; the latter also with encoder.
  • Kinematic and control parameters can be modified by software, even with moving axes.
  • Interpolations, electronic cams and gearing (electric axes with variable run-time tracking ratio), compared to other axes or external encoders.
  • Management of "actions" that can be associated with programmable "fast events".
  • Management of 16 inputs and 8 opto-isolated fast digital outputs (optional module P49).
  • High-speed synchronous serial connection (Link 10 Mbit/sec) with other P48 cards for interpolation, tracking, message sending.
  • Autozero cycles on micro or encoder signal even at maximum speed.
  • PID control algorithms plus user-programmable feed-forward.

Leomatic supplies the P48 boards with a software library that allows you to manage their full potential and create the interface for applications.

Leomatic is available to produce customised versions of the control firmware.
