Performance Motion Devices Prodigy® Motion Development Boards provide high-performance board-level motion control for scientific, automation, industrial, and robotic applications. Available in PC/104, standalone, and machine controller configurations, these boards support multiple motor types, including brushless DC, step, and DC brush motors, and are available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-axis configurations.
Based on the Magellan® Motion Control ICs, the Prodigy boards provide user-selectable profile modes including S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, and electronic gearing with on-the-fly parameter change. Servo loop compensation utilizes a full 32-bit position error, PID with velocity and acceleration feedforward, integration limit, and dual biquad filters for sophisticated control of complex loads.
CME versions of the board include the C-Motion® Engine, which allows user application code to run directly on the board, off-loading the system host, or enabling stand-alone operation. The Machine controller version has on-board ATLAS® amplifiers that eliminate the need for an external amplifier.
The Pro-Motion GUI makes it easy to set-up and analyze system parameters and motion performance. The C-Motion library simplifies the program development process and allows the use of industry-standard C/C++ or .NET programming languages.
