104/DSP Motion Controller

The 104/DSP combines MEI¦s proven DSP-based motion control architecture with the compact, rugged design of the PC-104 bus interface. Hardware features include 16-bit servo outputs, encoder inputs to 5 MHz, and 20 lines of user I/O.
You program the 104/DSP using MEI¦s flexible C function libraries with over 250 motion control functions. Combining MEI C libraries with compilers from Microsoft, Borland, Watcom, Symantec, and others speed development of complex motion applications.
The 104/DSP provides a rich set of software algorithms, including a sophisticated second-order PID control algorithm with velocity, acceleration, and friction feedforward.
Advanced features include electronic gearing and camming, dual-loop control, circular and linear interpolation, and trapezoidal, S-curve, parabolic, and custom motion profiles.
The 104/DSP allows motion control programs to share execution between the on-board DSP (for numerical intensive real-time functions) and the host (for non-real-rime functions). This results in an ideal division of labor with minimal host intervention.
