Performance Motion Devices Machine-Controller Multi-axis (1-4) Board Prodigy®/CME

The Prodigy®/CME Machine Controller Board from Performance Motion Devices is designed for high-performance motion control across various applications, including medical, scientific, automation, industrial, and robotics. It supports configurations for 1 to 4 axes and is compatible with DC brush, brushless DC, and step motors. The board features on-board Atlas® amplifiers, eliminating the need for external amplification, and requires only a power supply, motors, and cabling to create a complete system. Utilizing the advanced Magellan® Motion Processor, the controller offers user-selectable profile modes such as S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, and electronic gearing, with the capability for on-the-fly parameter changes. It supports a high-speed loop rate of 50 microseconds per axis and can handle up to 1 kW peak output power per axis. The board also includes extensive fault detection features and supports various communication modes, including Ethernet, CANbus, and serial interfaces. The Prodigy/CME is equipped with development tools such as the Pro-Motion® GUI and C-Motion® programming libraries, facilitating easy setup, analysis, and programming in C/C++ or Visual Basic. With its compact design and comprehensive capabilities, this machine controller board is suitable for engineers seeking a robust solution for complex motion control tasks.
