Prodigy PCI and PC/104 Programmable Motion Cards with Ethernet Connectivity
Lincoln, Massachusetts (PRWEB) January 28, 2009 -- Performance Motion Devices, Inc. (PMD) continues to innovate its Prodigy (http://www.pmdcorp.com/motion-control-cards/) family of motion cards with the launch of new programming capabilities for both the Prodigy PCI (http://www.pmdcorp.com/advanced-motion-control/prodigy-PCI-motion-card.cfm) and PC/104 (http://www.pmdcorp.com/advanced-motion-control/prodigy-PC104-motion-card.cfm) formats. This advancement gives machine designers the capability to download motion programs to the board level, off-loading the PC host and increasing the ability to distribute motion programming throughout a machine design. Support for Ethernet communication with UDP and TCP protocols in addition to serial and CANbus protocols facilitate the downloadable programming features and extends access to the cards from anywhere on the network.
The Prodigy PC/104 format offers a compact and expandable distributed architecture. Its stackable configuration lets designers easily combine multiple motion cards and I/O cards into space constrained locations. Downloaded programs can be configured to independently manage I/O connections to start a motion, change an I/O state, or even communicate I/O status to external devices. The new Ethernet communications support allows the PC/104 cards to easily communicate with other Ethernet based devices and computers.
C-Motion® Engine:
Programming is made easy with C-Motion®, a source code library of motion commands for development of C/C++ programs that run on the Prodigy Motion Cards. PMD's C-Motion® Engine stores and independently runs the downloaded motion control code on the Prodigy Motion Cards.
Both Prodigy card formats provide high performance board-level motion control for scientific, industrial, robotic, and general purpose automation applications. 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. Based on PMD's industry leading Magellan® Motion Processor, the Prodigy cards provide user-selectable profile modes including S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, and electronic gearing. Servo loop compensation utilizes a full 32-bit position error, PID with velocity and acceleration feedforward, integration limit and dual biquad filters for sophisticated control of complex loads. Prodigy Motion Cards come with serial, CAN and Ethernet communications options. The new motion cards are available in OEM quantities starting at $575.
"The Prodigy card with Programmable C-Motion Engine is the most important new product PMD has released since the Magellan Motion Processor in 2004. It solves a fundimental motion problem - how to write code in a standard language rather than a vendor-specific language, and how to run that code right on the card for maximum performance. Prodigy/CME solves both problems simultaneously - and the result is superior code transportability, and superior system performance." - Chuck Lewin, Founder and VP of Engineering, Performance Motion Devices, Inc.
