Introduction

PCI Interface
The PCI-8134/8132 is a 4/2 axes motion control card based on PCI bus. The PCI interface provides plug-and-play feature that is the key to easy maintenance. The maximum numbers of card in one system is 12 cards with capability of controlling 48 motors.

Motion Control Principle
The PCI-8134 can generate high frequency pulse train. The frequency of the pulse train controls the motor speed; the number of pulse controls the motor speed; the number of pulse controls the motor position. The differential input/output signals reduce noise interference. The command output option, including DIR/OUR mode and CW/CCW mode, provide an easy access to various stepper or servo motor drivers.

Velocity Profile
The motion control ASIC performs versatile trajectory planning ability. The acceleration and deceleration time are programmable. The S-curve helps to avoid mechanism vibration. The hardware linear interpolation between two axes is powerful to reduce software computation effort. 

Operation Modes
Various operation modes are available, such as continuous motion, absolute move, relative move, manual pulse mode, simultaneous move, change speed on the fly, linear interpolation, and home return. 

Encoder Interface 
Incremental encoder interface is used for position feedback. The encoder counters provides the position information to correct the position error generated by inaccurate mechanical transmissions. The differential-type encoder feedback avoids noise interference. The 28-bit counters cover the position range for most applications. 

Mechanism Interface
The pre-defined limit switch sensors on table are widely used to protect the mechanism.  The dedicated I/O interface for end-limit, slow-down point, and origin is very useful for system integration. 

Servo Drive Interface & GPIO
Some servo motors drives provide interfacing signals such as in-position (INP), alarm (ALM), error counter clear (ERC), and servo ready signals.  These signal interfaces are supported.

Pulser Interface
The handle-wheel pulser is widely used in NC machine. Four pulser interfaces are available through the CN3 connector (10-pin).

Interrupt Events
Many hardware status can be used as interrupt events, such as limit switch, alarm, moving home ready, one movement finished, and so on.
