PCL6143 Offers Flexibility and Ease of Use at Low Cost
Nippon Pulse America, Inc., Radford, VA - (March 31, 2006) NPA announces the PCL6143, four axes, single IC motion processor. The PCL6143 is a member of Nippon Pulse's PCL61x3 family of budget high performance motion control chips designed for controlling stepper and digital servomotors. The intelligent design, along with its high flexibility, allows the user the ability to offload intensive motion control functions from the application's host processor.
The PCL6143 is driven by a host microprocessor using an 8- or 16-bit parallel bus. It provides standard features, such as output speeds up to 15Mpps, linear interpolation, S-curve acceleration/deceleration control, comparators, encoder inputs, and the ability to change speed and position on the fly.
The advance motion control functions built into the PCL6143 eliminates the need for complicated software programming which will allow the engineer to produce a high quality end product in a shorter amount of time.
The PCL6143 is ideally suited for demanding applications in medical, scientific, and general automation, and at the 100-piece price of $47.71, the PCL6143 provides a low-cost solution.
Nippon Pulse America, Inc. is the wholly owned American subsidiary of Nippon Pulse Motor Co., Ltd. Nippon Pulse offers various controllers (boards and chips), drivers (boards and chips), and motors (tin-can and hybrid) to cover almost any stepper motor application.
