Motions up to ± 8,000,000 steps Programmable acceleration and velocityCircular Interpolation True step by step circular interpolation during acceleration,deceleration and all points in between Maximum error of ± 1 step from a true circle for any radius upto 2,000,000 steps Continuous arcs without stopping at axis boundaries Interpolation on any 2 of 8 axes at pulse rates up to 8K / sec. Programmable acceleration and velocityTHE PCMACThe PCMAC is a stepper motor control board and logiccontrol system designed to be inserted into one 8 bit, fulllength slot on an IBM PC or compatible computer.INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL OPERATIONThe PCMAC board can operate either internally, pluggedinto the PC backplace, or it can operate externally, with aseparate power supply and an RS232 communicationlink to the PC.333Circular InterpolationLinear Interpolation
