The PMAC2 VME provides state-of-the-art motion control of up to 8 axes for a wide variety of applications, including machine tools, robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, packaging equipment, and general-purpose automation. It utilizes the latest developments in electronics, software, and modern control theory to bring motion control capabilities to a whole new level.
The PMAC2 VME is designed as a bus expansion card, but is capable of standalone operation. It is VME bus-compatible, using two slots, possessing four or eight machine interface channels.
