Prodigy®/CME Machine-Controller Boards provide high-performance motion control for medical, scientific, automation, industrial, and robotic applications. Available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-axis configurations, these boards support DC Brush, Brushless DC, and step motors. Machine-Controller boards provide user-selectable profile modes including S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, and electronic gearing with on-the-fly parameter change. User-application C-language code can be downloaded and run directly on the board for standalone operation. The Prodigy/CME Machine-Controller has on-board Atlas amplifiers that eliminate the need for external amplifiers. Host interface options include Ethernet, CANbus, RS-232, and RS-485.

  • Available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-axis configurations
  • Uses PMD’s MC58000 Motion Control IC
  • Supports DC Brush, Brushless DC, and step motors
  • S-curve, trapezoidal, electronic gearing, and velocity-contouring profiles
  • FOC (Field Oriented Control)
  • Ethernet, CANbus and serial communications
  • Up to 1KW peak output power per axis
  • Fault detection including over and undervoltage, motor short, and overtemp
  • Incremental quadrature and Absolute SSI encoder support
  • Advanced PID filter with feedforward and dual biquad filters
