Products / DCX-PCI 300 Series Motion Controller
|
The DCX-PCI300 motion controller is a full-length PCI-bus card that combines advanced DSP technology with the modular multi-processing architecture first pioneered by PMC more than 20 years ago.
Each DCX-PCI300 motion controller consists of an intelligent PCI control card populated with any mix of up to eight (8) intelligent plug-in function modules. Function modules are available for servo and stepper control, AC brushless servo control, digital I/O, and analog I/O. Dual-Axis modules are also available for controlling two servo or stepper axes per module, for a total of up to 16 axes per control card.
