1.2 Features
PCI-1241/1242 provides the motor control functions as seen below:
• Independent 4-axis motion control
• Each axis of PCI-1241 can be configured independently as closed loop
control (voltage command) or open loop control (pulse command).
• 2/3-axis linear interpolation function
• 2/3-axis circular interpolation function
• Continuous interpolation function
• Multiple group function. 72 groups can be performed at the same time
• One card can support two 2-axis linear/circular interpolation functions
at the same time
• Programmable T/S-curve acceleration and deceleration
• Up to 4 MPPS pulse output for each axis
• Three pulse output types: Pulse/Direction, CW/CCW and A/B Phase
• Up to 2 MHz encoder input for each axis
• Equipped with 5 encoder input channels, each encoder channel can be
used as MPG or stand alone encoder input channel when its corre-
sponding axis is in pulse command mode
• 3 encoder input types: Pulse/Direction, CW/CCW and A/B/Z Phase.
• 4 onboard digital input channels for Home Sensor Signal of each axis.
• 4 on-board digital input channels for “Positive-direction Limit Switch
Signal” of each axis.
• 4 on-board digital input channels for “Negative-direction Limit Switch
Signal” of each axis.
• One on-board digital input channel for “Emergency Stop Signal”
• 4 on-board digital output channels for “Servo On Signal” of each axis
• One on-board digital output channel for “Position Ready Signal
• One built-in 24-bit timer and one 16-bit watchdog timer
• Position management and software limit switch function
• Software Board ID
• Free Motion Utility bundled for configuration and diagnosis
• Support PCLD-8241 remote I/O module
