ADLINK PCIe-8338 is a hardware-based EtherCAT motion controller
able to support up to 64 synchronized axes and over 10,000
points simultaneously. The PCIe-8338 features dedicated isolated
emergency stop input (EMG), and configurable isolated high-speed
digital input as not only generic sensor input but also pulsar input,
with up to 1MHz input frequency.
Optimum jitter control is provided in minimal cycles of 250µs to
optimize synchronous I/O performance for vertical automation
applications in semiconductor, electronic manufacturing,
and others.
The PCIe-8338 provides an out-of-shell application-ready (APS)
function library to generate multi-dimensional, highly synchronized,
time-deterministic event-triggered motion & I/O control. A wide
range of compatible 3rd party SubDevice are easily designed with
ADLINK's APS function library. ADLINK's MotionCreatorPro 2 utility
is fully compliant with the Microsoft Windows environment,
that allows complete EtherCAT motion and I/O configuration
and function evaluation as well as compiling program download
functions.
