2-PC/104 small-format motion controllers

Why you should care: The PMAC2-PC/104 uses integration to achieve a small form factor. The main board has only 3 main components-CPU with embedded RAM, servo ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. , and flash memory backup. The controller is also billed as the first to use Digital Signal Processor A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time computing. Characteristics of typical Digital Signal Processors
  • Designed for real-time processing
 (DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive ) technology.

Pertinent Data: The PMAC2-PC/104 supports four channels of servo/stepper interface, an RS-232 serial communications port, and an optional bus communications port. Its expansion board is capable of eight servo interface channels, and has an optional added digital I/O.
