Prodigy® Motion Control Card offers OEM machine designers access to the powerful features of the Magellan™ chip set.
Prodigy® Motion Control Card improves application flexibility with powerful new feature set including direct amplifier commutation signals for multi-axis and multiple motor types.
Lincoln, MA — The Prodigy® Motion Cards from Performance Motion Devices, Inc. (PMD), designed with PMD’s advanced Magellan™ Motion Control IC, provide board level, multi-axis motion control for DC brush, brushless DC, step, and microstepping motors. In addition to trace capture, Prodigy cards provide advanced motion control features including trajectory generation, servo loop closure, quadrature signal input, motor output signal generation, on-the-fly changes, commutation, and much more.
Key Updated Features Include...
- 4 axes motor control with direct amplifier commutation signals for brushless DC and microstepping motors, allowing the designers to use lower cost amplifiers.
- Servo loop rates of up to 50 µSec/Axis (20 kHz).
- Quadrature encoder rates up to 8 Mcount/Sec.
 Prodigy cards are available in PCI and PC/104 configurations, and provide 1, 2, 3, or 4 axes of control. Prodigy-PCI and Prodigy-PC/104 utilize high density logic circuitry to provide cost-effective, advanced motion control functions programmed in C/C++ or Visual Basic language. The cards accept input parameters such as position, velocity, acceleration, and jerk from the host, and generate a corresponding trajectory. Instantaneous on-the-fly changes can be sent by the user, and external signal inputs can be used to program automatic profile changes.
Prodigy-PCI and Prodigy-PC/104 are available now. Prices start at $380 in OEM quantities.
