Introduction
Advantech introduces the PCI-1240U 4-axis Universal PCI (supports both 3.3 V and 5 V signal slot) stepping/pulse-type servo motor control card designed for general-purpose
extreme motion applications. The PCI-1240U is a high-speed 4-axis motion control card for the PCI bus that simplifies stepping and pulse-type servo motor control, giving you
added performance from your motors. The card’s intelligent NOVA® MCX314-motion ASIC builds in a variety of motion control functions, such as 2/3-axis linear interpolation, 2-
axis circular interpolation, T/S-curve acceleration/deceleration rate and more. In addition, the PCI-1240U performs these motion control functions without processor loading during
driving. For advanced applications, Advantech supplies Windows® DLL drivers and user-friendly examples to decrease your programming load. Moreover, through a free bundled
PCI-1240U motion utility, you can complete configuration and diagnosis easily.
