The
PCI 208 is based on a 120Mhz 32-bit floating point
DSP supported by 8Mbits of SRAM, 32 Mbits of Flash
memory and 128kbits of dual port RAM for PCI communications.
A large FPGA on the provides for up to 8 stepper
axes, or 8 axes with encoder feedback, or mixtures
of the two, or stepper axes with encoder verification.
For +/-10v input servo drives an optional mezzanine
board provides 16 bit resolution voltage outputs
and analogue inputs. A DIN rail mounting break-out
board eases the wiring interconnections for low-volume
applications.
The
PCI 208 is designed for motion control applications
centred around a PC. Application programs written
on the PC can access its facilities easily using
an OCX component. It is also possible to run application
programs on the PCI 208 in multi-tasking BASIC
language or to use both programming techniques.
Trio's Motion Perfect development software can
be used to monitor the execution of programs,
IO and motion. Complex motion such as cams, gears,
linked axes, and interpolation is made easy with
the comprehensive command set. The PCI206 has
20 opto-isolated digital 24v inputs and 10 opto-isolated
outputs. The inputs can be used as high-speed
hardware registration inputs for highly accurate
control of print and packaging lines.
The
I/O count can be expanded using Trio CANbus digital
and analog modules. The PCI208 has 2 built-in
CAN channels for I/O and axis control.
»Expansion Options and Auxiliary
Items for PCI 208
The
basic PCI 208 has 2 stepper axes. The axis count
can be increased in single axis steps up to 8.
A P184 or P185 DAC board is required for analog
output servo operation.
