Advantech introduces the PCI-1240U 4-axis stepping/pulse-type servo motor control card designed for general-purpose extreme motion applications. The PCI-1240U is a high-speed 4-axis motion control card for the PCI bus that simplifies stepping and pulse-type servo motor control, giving you added performance from your motors. The card’s intelligent NOVA ® MCX314-motion ASIC builds in a variety of motion control functions, such as 2/3-axis linear interpolation, 2- axis circular interpolation, T/S-curve acceleration/deceleration rate and more. In addition, the PCI-1240U performs these motion control functions without processor loading during driving. For advanced applications, we supply Windows DLL drivers and user-friendly examples to decrease your programming load. Moreover, through a free bundled PCI-1240U motion utility, you can complete configuration and diagnosis easily.
