Creating Custom Motion Control and Drive Electronics with an FPGA-based COTS System
|
From National Instruments
Complex machines in semiconductor, electronics, packaging, medical, biotech, and micro manufacturing often have tough performance requirements for motion control. When traditional PLC or PC-based motion controllers fail to meet these requirements, machine builders turn to custom board development – a time consuming and expensive process. Recent advances in embedded technologies have made it possible to use FPGA-based COTS platforms to not only meet those requirements, but also to get to market faster by using graphical system design. This whitepaper discusses the basic software and hardware architecture for creating your own FPGA-based motion control system and drive electronics with NI CompactRIO and NI LabVIEW
Products & Services
Application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) are electronic chips designed for a particular application.
Machine vision systems are used for automated inspection and measurement in production environments.
Intellectual property (IP) cores are pre-designed, pre-tested, integrated circuits or boards of industry-standard functions that can be easily used in embedded applications. Generally IP cores are treated as intellectual property and are licensed to OEMs.
Imaging workstations are vision systems used for metrology or image analysis in laboratory and cleanroom settings.
Software development services design custom software for a variety of applications.
