Multi-Axis Motion Controllers                                                  

MAXv - PCI

The MAXv one to eight axes of motion controller is VME64 compliant and backwards compatible with the VME58 controller. MAXv is built on a PowerPC 32-bit RISC processor running at 266 MHz. The use of this processor delivers exceptional servo control, capabilities, quality, and application performance on multi-axes requirements. User-selectable axes types include open or closed stepper and 16-bit analog servo. Independent analog inputs bring parameters such as temperature and pressure under the control of the running application. Two additional encoder inputs boost precision and control. All signals, data points, and the PID loop update every 122 µs on all axes. The bus interface uses shared memory technology to communicate both commands from the host and feedback of motion control parameters, eliminating the communication bottlenecks of single-address, port based approaches. MAXv controllers support two 68-pin and one 50-pin SCSI type connector on the front panel as well as a 160-pin connector at P2 for backplane connections.
