Programmable PC104 Prodigy Motion Card CARDS

Working with the Prodigy Cards, PMDs Pro-Motion? GUI makes it easy to analyze system performance while C-Motion? and VB-Motion? allow you to develop your own application using C/C++ or Visual Basic.

Based on PMDs Magellan Motion Processor, the Prodigy cards provide user selectable profile modes including S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, and electronic gearing. The card accepts input parameters such as position, velocity, acceleration, and jerk from the host and generates a corresponding trajectory on-the-fly. Servo loop compensation utilizes a full32-bit position error, PID with velocity and acceleration feedforward, integration limit and dual biquad filters for sophisticated control of complex loads.

The Prodigy? Family of Motion Cards provide high performance board level motion control for scientific, automation, industrial,and robotic applications. Available in PCI and PC/104 configurations,these cards support multiple motor types including DC brush, brushless DC, step, and microstepping motors, and are available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-axis versions.

Programmable Prodigy? Motion Cards provide machine designers the capability to download and run motion programs directly on Prodigy cards. This new capability off-loads the PC host and increases the flexibility to distribute motion programs throughout the machine. Programs can be downloaded to the Prodigy card over UDP and TCP Ethernet protocols, in addition to serial and CANbus protocols.
