Vendor Information



Tool Description:

The DSPpro/VME combines an Intel 386EX embedded processor and an Analog Devices 40 MHz DSP with MEI's function-rich C programming libraries to speed development of complex motion applications. This high-performance, dual-processor motion controller provides up to 8 axes of servo or stepper control on one 6U VME card.
For maximum design flexibility, system developers can create motion control programs on either the VME host or a PC using standard C programming tools (Microsoft, Borland, Watcom, etc.). Compiled programs can be downloaded to the DSPpro/VME¦s flash memory across the VME bus or via the high-speed serial ports.
With embedded DOS on-board, standard .EXE programs execute on the DSPpro/VME totally independent of the host processor. In fact, if the host VME system is rebooted, the DSPpro/VME continues to run uninterrupted.
The DSPpro/VME is ideal for a variety of high-performance motion control applications, including semiconductor manufacturing, electronic assembly, factory automation, and robotics. Plus, MEI's C-library of more than 250 motion control functions helps speed program development.
