MDSmotion-PCI 4 Axis Servo Motor Controller
The MDSmotion-PCI is a 4 Axis Motion Controller providing 4
X 16-bit +/- 10V Analog outputs and 4 X Quadrature Incremental Encoder Inputs
for Motion Control.
Motion Control:
Controller Type: 4
Axis Servo Position Controller.
Encoders: Single ended and differential quadrature
differential encoders
Control Modes: Torque, Velocity, Position, Contour, Gain and
mixed modes.
Gains: Proportional, Integral, Derivative, Feed Forward, Feed
Reverse, Torque Scaling.
Acceleration Profiles: Trapezoidal, S-curve.
Move Types: Point
to Point, Constant Velocity, 4 axis interpolated (linear movement), 2 axis
interpolated (circular movement), electronic gearing, Torque Mode (PID
disabled). Also possible to gear the motion of non circular interpolating
axes to the movement of circular interpolating axes, an example of this would be
gearing the C axis (Rotary Axis) to keep a knife or other cutter tangential to
an arc while cutting.
On the fly: Velocity Override (in Trapezoidal Acceleration
Mode), display of all parameters, loading of the Contour Buffer (ring buffer).
Digital I/O:
Inputs: Limits + (x4), Limits – (x4), Amp Fault (x4), General
Purpose (x10), Optically Isolated.
Encoder: A, A/, B, B/, Z, Z/ encoder inputs to 13.3MHz
(before Quadrature decoding)
Outputs: Amp Enable (x4), General Purpose (x8), Open
Collector Darlington Array.
Analog I/O:
Inputs: 4 X 10 bit A/D Converter (board is capable but not
implemented yet)
Outputs: 4 X 16 bit D/A converter for +/- 10V Servo control
Firmware:
PID Loop and position read: 2 KHz (every 500 us)
Trajectory Generation: 2 KHz (every 500 us)
I/O and error reporting: 2 KHz (every 500 us)
Full Instruction set for motion control
High speed position capture
128 Move Contouring Ring Buffer (will be increased to 256 in
future models)
External
Communication:
PC Communication: PCI (half length card)
Driver, COM library and .NET libraries included. Support for
Programming in C, C++, C#, VB6 and VB.NET.
Sample software included. MDS can also write custom PC
applications if required.

This controller is well suited to controlling fast and slow
moving X-Y Tables in Waterjet, Laser/Plasma and Milling applications where
advanced simultaneous control of up to 4 axes is needed.
