Motion Control / EtherCAT PCI
This is a set of PC add-on cards for motion control and EtherCAT PCI applications. The set includes DIO cards, motion control plug-in cards, and motion control/EtherCAT PCI cards. The cards are designed to provide reliable and precise motion control for a wide range of applications. They offer a variety of features including high speed data transfer, motion control, and EtherCAT support. They are easy to install and configure, making them an ideal choice for motion control applications.
Products
- **Eight‑Axis Control:** Supports simultaneous control of up to eight independent motor axes. - **High‑Speed Pulse Output:** Generates pulse signals from **0.3 Mpps to 9.8 Mpps**, enabling high‑precision motion control for both stepping and servo motors. - **Flexible Output Modes:** Selectable between: - 2‑pulse (CW/CCW) - Common‑pulse (Pulse/Direction) - 90° phase difference (Lead/Lag) - **Encoder Input Compatibility:** Accepts differential, TTL‑level, and open‑collector encoder signals for feedback and position verification. - **Limit Switch Inputs:** Three opto‑isolated limit inputs per axis (ORG, +LIM, −LIM) for safe and accurate motion boundary detection. - **General‑Purpose I/O:** Seven opto‑isolated general‑purpose input signals per axis for flexible control integration. - **High‑Speed Isolated Outputs:** Open‑collector outputs (current sinking type) rated at 50 V DC, 100 mA per channel, 300 mA per axis. - **Override Functionality:** Allows real‑time override of speed or target position during motion execution. - **Encoder Feedback:** Supports single‑phase (UP/DOWN/Z) and two‑phase (A/B/Z) encoder inputs up to 5 MHz (differential), 3 MHz (TTL), or 1 MHz (open collector). - **Software Support:** Includes CONTEC’s **API‑TOOLs for Windows** driver library for Win32 API integration. - **High Reliability:** Opto‑isolated inputs prevent electrical noise interference and ensure stable operation in industrial environments. - **PCI Bus Compatibility:** Fully compliant with PCI 2.2 standard, supporting both 5 V and 3.3 V signaling environments. - **Compact Design:** Standard PCI form factor suitable for industrial PCs and embedded control systems.
