Spotlight on Motor Control

Motion Control Cards: Options and Architectures



Advanced Features and Application Design Challenges

Over the years there have been a number of motion control card implementations, mainly based on some version of a PC-bus. 

Today the most common ones are based on PCI, ISA, and PC/104 formats.  In that last couple of years a stand-alone card format with serial communication has become common, adding value by reducing the dependence on the PC chassis and saving space.  

There have also been a lot of improvements in motion control cards’ capabilities and performance that allow for much better system optimization.  In this presentation we will explore these advances in card technology and how it affects motion control system architecture and design.
