Introducing Nippon Pulse COMMANDER core, a four-axis hybrid IC

The CMD-4EX-CR is Suitable as Compact programmable module to be integrated as a centerpiece on your circuit board, and offers the capability to run up to 4 axes preventing a burden on both the CPU and the user, while allowing for a wide range of advanced motion control capabilities..

The CMD module offers many solutions in just one component and ready to become configured in complicated motion profiles up to four axes. The module can control both rotating and linear brushless motors, stepper motors or stages in any combination and shortens the market launch of your final product. 

The CMD module contains freely programmable solutions for multi-axle control and can realize high data transfer rates via Ethernet connection or communicates with a USB 2.0 and RS-485 interface; also available are one I2C-Bus and two SPI-Busses as communication interface; The module can interpolate linear and circular movements, on 2-4 axes. It supports 13 homing routines, "flying" setting of Speed and position, absolute and incremental position, as well as S-curve and trapezoidal motion profiles.

The module handles several versions of interpolation, including linear- (XYZU); Circular-  (each 2-axis) Arc/Helix- (XYZ);and an In-depth contour processing (XYZ-100 buffer size). Also implemented is an encoder feedback; Coordinating linear and circular movements, and up to 40 universal I/O and outputs.

The Stand-Alone module is capable to operate in either a PC-based or stand-alone mode, and Provides easy-to-use, low-cost multi-axis motion programming. The supplier designed a BASIC-like programming language (C, C + +, VB, VB.net, Linux, LabVIEW, MATLAB support with examples).
