Motion Control
PCs: Cost-effective, high-performance motion control platformsPCs: Cost-effective, high-performance motion control platforms
By Kim Hartman, TenAsys
The title is correct, but isn't referring to the basic Windows-based PC that we all know. Instead, a virtualized environment with real-time deterministic capability can turn a PC into a motion control platform.

Today's motion control requires close hardware/software integration and flexibilityToday's motion control requires close hardware/software integration and flexibility
By Patrick H. Dwyer, Aim Controls
Advances in FPGA technology with both integrated processing cores and better real-time performance have compelled designers to revisit tasks for motion control. Functions once completed in software can now be placed in an FPGA for enhanced performance and increased features.

Encoders open the way for new applicationsEncoders open the way for new applications
By Reinhard Kuhn, DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH
Technology in optical scan linear encoders is changing to support more demanding applications in which motion control performance largely depends on the type of encoder used.
