    Fiberoptic motion control comes to PC-104 With the introduction of the DSP-104-SERCOS, system designers now have a choice of either conventional 䔮-V analog or serial real-time communications system (SERCOS) digital interfaces for PC-104 motion controllers. SERCOS is the IEC 1491 standard that offers an open, digital alternative to analog or proprietary interfaces between motion controls and drives.

    Fiberoptic motion control comes to PC-104 With the introduction of the DSP-104-SERCOS, system designers now have a choice of either conventional 䔮-V analog or serial real-time communications system (SERCOS) digital interfaces for PC-104 motion controllers. SERCOS is the IEC 1491 standard that offers an open, digital alternative to analog or proprietary interfaces between motion controls and drives. The DSP-104-SERCOS features an on-board DSP that performs calculation-intensive motion functions while off-loading non-real-time functions to the host. Additional features include eight channels of 12-bit ADC for jogging and dedicated I/O ports for TTL-level control. Priced at $2895, the board includes software libraries and software-development kits for DOS, Windows/NT, Lynx/OS, and QNX.
