As we all know, in the area of intelligent equipment, there are 3 important measures, precision, efficiency, and production capacity. They all influence intelligent equipment's performance, production quality, and market competition, especially in 3C electronics, detection devices, semi-conductor devices, laser, optical communication devices, industrial robot, etc.

For different industries’ requirements, generally it use high-precision transmission, high-efficient drive, and high-performance control card in the process of intelligent equipment’s design and manufacturing. Then, it can achieve high-speed & high-precision soft production.

According to this market requirement, Zmotion developed one “PCIE464M – Super High-Speed PCIe EtherCAT Motion Control Card”, it can break traditional solutions’ bottleneck because it has PCIe high-speed interface, and its EtherCAT industrial ethernet bus supports real-time, expansibility, multi-axis synchronous control, high-speed IN & high-speed OUT. In this way, data of control card and PC can be interacted in real-time, that is, faster respond speed and higher processing precision, then, the efficiency & quality of single machine or production line can be improved greatly.

--PCIE464M Product--

Video Address

PCIE464M is one PCI Express EtherCAT motion control card based on PCIe, which support powerful motion control functions with real-time and high-precision.

You can embed PCIE464M control card into standard PC for high-performance EtherCAT motion control, including high-precision multi-axis synchronous control, and the minimal EtherCAT control period can be 100us.

In addition, there are multiple high-speed IO IN & OUT, which can achieve diverse high-speed IO requirements, like, high-speed color code latch, high-speed PWM, multi-dimensional position comparison output PSO, vision fly-shooting, speed look-ahead, encoder position detection, etc.

For its development, there are two methods. First one, use Zmotion IDE RTSys (ZDevelop) to develop, debug, simulate, and diagnose. Second one, call uniform API function library to edit motion control program codes, then configuration and diagnosis can be achieved easily, your programming pressure can be reduced a lot.

(1) Advantages -- PCIE464M & IPC

PCIE464M motion control has 16 inputs and 16 outputs, then no need to configure extra IO data acquisition card and PLC for the third party image processing IPC or PC, that is, PC matches with PCIE464M card to realize vision motion controller of IPC format, in this way, simplify hardware structure, save cost, and integrate hardware with software.

(2) PCIE464M Hardware Performance Features

(3) PCIE464M Control Card Order Information

--System is Safer & more Stable--

(1) Power Failure Storage

PCIE464M control card supports power down storage function, it can save key data when the control system encounters power off or restart.

(2) Power Failure Interrupt

PCIE464M control card supports power down interrupt function, that is, encountering abnormal situations when the CPU is executing, the power down interrupt will respond immediately.

In interrupt program, key data and self-define variables can be saved into VR register directly, namely, when the device is powered on again, it can resume the former data rapidly according to self-define variables, including position coordinates, device key data, etc.

In a short, “power failure interrupt” can reduce the time (like, program correction time after restarting, the time of power-off), then improve the efficiency.

(3) Be Compatible

Support WindowsXP/7/10/11, Linux and other operation systems.

(4) Be Safer

PCIE464M support “RTBasic (Real-Time Basic) Multi-Task” function, specifically, it can build custom safe program in the card. When there is “blue screen” of Windows system, the control card will power down automatically according to preset plan. Then, no uncontrollable actions in operation, achieve safer production manufacturing.

(5) Intellectual Property Protection  

PCIE464M control card can build “your own special industry technology” & “industry know-how intellectual property” in the card, users can custom encryption and authorization. Then, it effectively avoids the risk of unauthorized or pirated software, and customers’ intellectual property rights are better protected, no need to worry about usage.

PCIE464M motion control card can be used in 3C Electronics, Detection Devices, Semi-Conductor Devices, Laser Processing, Medical Devices, Optical Communication Devices, Industrial Robot, etc.
