PCI Multi-Axis Motion Controller
OMS, manufacturer of high level, intelligent embedded controllers has launched the MAXp, a PCI bus-based controller which has up to 8 axes of user definable servo and stepper motion control.
OMS our manufacturer of high level, intelligent embedded controllers has launched the MAXp, a PCI bus-based controller which has up to 8 axes of user definable servo and stepper motion control The MAXp is again built around a PowerPC 32-bit RISC processor running at 266 MHz because this processor delivers exceptional servo control, capabilities, quality, and application performance on multi-axis requirements

A third generation intelligent servo drive with a modular structure control that has IEC61131-3 and PLCopen is ideal for use in a wide range of different applications.
All signals, data points, as well as the PID loop update every 122ęs on all 8 axes and each axis of the MAXp controller can be configured as a servo, open loop stepper, or a closed loop stepper.
The MAXp includes backlash compensation, also linear, parabolic, cosine "S" - curve and custom profiles.
It provides real time encoder position capture and of course circular interpolation.
There are firmware upgrades and enhancements, the firmware can be upgraded in the field.
