Motion Engineering LC/DSP C-programmable Motion Controller Simple Type: Motion Controller

The LC/DSP offers excellent price and performance in a single-board motion controller. A powerful Analog De- vices DSP provides up to 4 axes of servo or stepper con- trol in a single ISA bus slot. Hardware features include 16-bit servo outputs, encoder inputs to 5 MHz, and 20 lines of user I/O. You program the LC/DSP using MEI's flexible C function libraries with over 250 motion control functions. Com- bining MEI C libraries with compilers from Microsoft, Borland, Watcom, Symantec, and others speeds develop- ment of complex motion applications. The LC/DSP provides a rich set of software algorithms, including a sophisticated second-order PID control algorithm with velocity, acceleration, and friction feed-forward. Advanced features include electronic gearing and camming, dual-loop control, circular and linear interpolation, and trapezoidal, S-curve, parabolic, and custom motion profiles. The LC/DSP allows motion control programs to share execution between the on-board DSP (for numerically intensive real-time functions) and the host (for non-real- time functions). This results in an ideal division of labor with minimal host intervention.
