Advantech's PCI-1240 4-axis stepping/pulse-type servo motor control card is designed for general-purpose extreme motion applications. The PCI-1240 is a high-speed 4-axis motion control card for the PCI bus that simplifies stepping and pulse-type servo motor control, accessing more performance from motors. The card's intelligent NOVA MCX314-motion ASIC contains a variety of built-in motion control functions, such as 2/3-axis linear interpolation, 2-axis circular interpolation, T/S-curve acceleration/deceleration rate and more. These motion control functions are performed without processor loading during driving. For advanced applications, the company offers Windows DLL drivers and user-friendly examples to decrease programming load. Through a free bundled PCI-1240 motion utility, users can complete configuration and diagnosis easily.
The PCI-1784 is a 4-axis quadrature encoder and counter add-on card also for PCI bus. This card includes four 32-bit quadruple AB phase encoder counters, 8-bit timer with multirange time-base selector and four isolated digital inputs and four isolated digital outputs. Its flexible interrupt sources are suitable for motor control and position monitoring.
The PCL-833 is a 3-axis quadrature encoder and counter add-on card for the IBM PC/AT and compatibles (ISA bus). This card allows a PC to perform position monitoring for motion control systems. The card will accept an input pulse rate up to 2,4 MHz (1,0 MHz for quadrature input rate), there is a 24-bit counter that can cascade up to 48 bits, a 4-stage digital filter and the card is optically isolated up to 2,5 kVRMS.

Editor's Choice PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Many process engineers do not appreciate the importance of flow loops in their unit controls. A senior process engineer once told me that flow loops need not be tuned well, as they generally have little effect on the more important and much slower loops like temperatures and pressures.

PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Data acquisition, data logging and data analysis are required functions for most modern industrial control systems. The simplest and lowest cost way to provide these functions is often by using the same platform that’s providing real-time control, namely the PLC or the programmable automation controller.
