DCX-PC 100 Series Motion Controller

Note: The DCX-PC 100 series motion controllers are no longer recommended for new applications. If you have a new application that requires servo or stepper control, please see the DCX-PCI 100 motion controller instead.

The DCX-PC100 motion control card is an economical ISA-bus motion control platform featuring a modular multi-processing architecture first pioneered by PMC more than 30 years ago.

Each DCX-PC100 Series motion controller consists of an intelligent ISA control card populated with any mix of up to eight (8) intelligent plug-in function modules. Function modules are available for amplified-servo drive, servo control, stepper control, digital I/O, analog I/O, and optional RS-232/422 or IEEE-488 communications.
