Motion Processor features parallel interface.
Parallel Pilot(TM) single-axis motion processor chip provides brushed, brushless, pulse and direction, and microstepping motion control. It communicates with host processor via bi-directional 16-bit parallel data port. Compared to typical serial interface of 416 kbaud, parallel port communication speeds are up to 6 times faster. Processor is suitable for embedded systems in industrial,...

Motion Chipset has multiple breakpoints.
Series MC2300 motion processor provides 1, 2, and 4 axes of control for brushless motors. Providing breakpoint programming, 2-IC chipset allows user to create profiles by having an internal or external signal cause profile change. Chipset is programmed via language that uses one command word followed by one or more data words. Windows(TM)-based Pro-Motion software permits high-level programming...

Motion Control Chipsets synchronize multiple axes.
Navigator and Pilot chipsets control brushed dc servos, brushless dc servos, steppers, and microsteppers. Navigator handles 4 axes, while Pilot handles 1. Multi-chip synchronization allows more than 4 axes of motion to be coordinated between any combination of Navigator and Pilot chips. It also allows physically remote or distributed chips to be synchronized within microseconds so they can be...
