With the DMC-series, MICOS offers highest performance motion controllers. The controllers are available in different versions from 1-8 axes, in different form-factors ISA-, PCI-Slot and external USB/RS-232 and Ethernet RS-232 versions. All motion controllers are fully programmable and can control up to 8 axes of servo- or stepper-motors. Added features include improved program storage, two communication channels, multiple master electronic gearing, and out-put compare. Software is available to support the DMC-series including the COMDISK for programming the card, SDK to automatically tune the motor, and the Visual Basic Toolkit to speed development of Visual Basic programs. Independent Axes Positioning: In this mode, each axes follows its own prescribed profile.
Jogging: The jog mode allows the user to command each motor to run at a prescribed jog speed. Linear Interpolation: The DMC controllers provides a linear interpolation mode for any combination of 1 to 8 axes. Linear and Circular Interpolation: The DMC controllers coordinated motion mode (VM) makes it easy to follow a two-dimensional path consisting of multiple straight-line and arc segments. Motion Smoothing: To eliminate the jerk of mechanical systems, the DMC controllers provides profile smoothing. Contouring: The contouring mode allows the user to bypass the DMC controllers motion profiler and prescribe any arbitrary position trajectory Position increments. Electronic Gearing: This mode allows up to 8 axes to be electronically geared to up to 4 masters. Electronic Cam: This mode allows synchronizing up to seven axes with a master axes according to any function.Dual Loop: The dual-loop encoder feature enables the DMC controllers to compensate for backlash.High Speed Encoder Compare: The controller produces a pulse every time the encoder passes a second specified distance. This feature is useful for triggering external events to exact positions within 0.5 microseconds. High Speed Latch: For precisely synchronizing the position to an external input, the high speed latch captures exact main or auxiliary encoder position on the occurrence of an input.
