Does Pro-Dex OMS have follow-up products for the PC38 and PC39 family of motion controllers?
Yes. The PC48 family is a follow-up product for the PC38 and 39 family of motion controllers. The PC48 is compatible with the Command Syntax and has the same 80-Pin connector. The connectors and I/O interface used by the PC38 can be used. The PC48 is a half size ISA bus controller. It can be installed in the same space as the PC38 or PC39, as well as smaller slot spaces. The PC48 family of controllers uses an FPGA logic element as well as Surface Mount Technology. It is recommended sufficient time be allotted to re-validate your application with a PC38 or PC39 application to make sure it functions as expected. There may be slight timing differences caused by the use of the FPGA. Interrupt oriented drivers are recommended.
