ADLINK Debuts PCI-8144 4-Axis Stepper Motor Control Card
ADLINK Technology Inc. announced the PCI-8144, a cost-effective 4-axis stepper motor control card with four pulse output channels. The PCI-8144 delivers high-frequency pulse rates of up to 2.4 MHz, supporting high-speed motors at higher resolutions with faster acceleration. Up to 12 PCI-8144 control cards can be configured to control up to 48 axes from a single host system. The PCI-8144 also offers precise synchronization across all axes to ensure simultaneous starts and stops for accurate motion of complex systems.
The PCI-8144 supports both T-curve and S-curve speed profiles, as well as unsymmetrical acceleration and deceleration to fit a variety of applications that require fast control with smooth motion. The PCI-8144 also supports the on-the-fly speed changes necessary for CNC machining automation.
A hardware-based emergency stop control is provided to halt the transmission of pulse trains during an emergency. The PCI-8144 also features a software security mechanism to protect your motion control applications.
Software drivers for Windows(R) and ADLINK's intuitive motion control utility, MotionCreatorPro, are included to allow convenient and efficient testing and debugging of tasks.
The PCI-8144 is available from authorized ADLINK distributors and direct sales offices.
