The PCI-8158 from ADLINK is an advanced 8-axis stepper and servo motion control board for the PCI bus. The board generates a high frequency pulse train to control motor speed and position. In addition to features such as linear, trapezoidal and S-curve velocity profile, you can also change speed and position on the fly.

In multi-axis operation, the PCI-8158 provides 8 axis linear or circular interpolation and continuous interpolation for continuous velocity.

The PCI-8158 provides position compare and trigger functions, plus automatic backlash compensation whenever a direction change occurs.
