A-LINK V2.0 + MECHATROLINK-Ⅱ
Dual-field-bus-master PCI Board

Controller

The both of A-Link and MECHATROLINK-II capabilities fabricated on a half-hight PCI board.__RCMS_CONTENT_BOUNDARY__Further less-wiring in equipment.__RCMS_CONTENT_BOUNDARY__Distributed High-speed Control
- allows 2016 I/O points maximum with 0.96ms high speed scanning on A-Link and 16-axis with 2ms or 30-axis 4ms control on MECHATROLINK-Ⅱ simultaneously.__RCMS_CONTENT_BOUNDARY__Just a board can control maximum 30 axes servo-driver units or manage maximum 15 axes independent linear interpolation motion, positioning and changing speed/destination after moving (except interpolated axis).__RCMS_CONTENT_BOUNDARY__Embedding bundled software makes it possible to realize applications easier on PC platforms.__RCMS_CONTENT_BOUNDARY____RCMS_CONTENT_BOUNDARY____RCMS_CONTENT_BOUNDARY____RCMS_CONTENT_BOUNDARY____RCMS_CONTENT_BOUNDARY__
