Prodigy Machine Control Boards

Turnkey motion control across single or multi-axes.

Prodigy® Machine Control Boards provide high-performance board-level motion control for scientific, lab automation, medical device, industrial, and robotic applications. Available in PCI, PC/104, stand-alone, and machine controller configurations, these boards support multiple motors, including Brushless DC, step, and DC Brush motors. And they are available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-axis configurations. Programmable versions of the board include PMD Corp.’s C-Motion Engine (CME) that allows developer code to run directly on the board—off-loading the system host or enabling stand-alone operation.

Based on our industry-leading Magellan® ICs, these machine control boards provide user-selectable profile modes, including S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, and electronic gearing, with on-the-fly parameter change. Servo loop compensation utilizes a full 32-bit position error, PID with velocity and acceleration feedforward, integration limit and dual biquad filters for sophisticated control of complex loads. The machine controller version has on-card Atlas® digital amplifiers that eliminate the need for external amplifiers along with enhanced analog and digital I/O.

Included with every Prodigy Machine Control Board is the Pro-Motion GUI which makes it easy to set up and analyze system parameters and motion performance. PMD Corp.’s C-Motion and VB-Motion language simplifies the program development process and enables the use of industry standard C/C++ or Visual Basic programming languages.

Prodigy/PC104 Machine Control Boards

PMD Corp.'s Prodigy ®/CME PC/104 Machine Control Boards provide equipment designers the capability to download and run motion programs directly on Prodigy motion control boards. This capability off-loads the PC host and increases the flexibility to distribute motion programs throughout the machine. Programs can be downloaded to the Prodigy board over UDP and TCP Ethernet protocols, in addition to serial and CAN bus protocols. They communicate via 16-bit parallel, Ethernet, serial, and CAN bus. PC/104 boards are used in embedded motion control systems for industrial control, automation, and robotic applications. The Prodigy/CME PC/104 motion boards are available in single or multi-axis motion control. They use our high-performance Magellan® positioning ICs. All PC/104 boards come equipped with Pro-Motion® GUI, C-Motion® application programming language, and VB-Motion® development software. Prodigy boards support multiple motor types including Brushless DC, step, and DC Brush motors.
