This unit
The Kollmorgen 104/DSP is a PC/104 motion controller built around a 40 MHz DSP processor for real-time motion control in embedded systems. It distributes computation between the onboard DSP (real-time algorithms) and host CPU (non-real-time functions), enabling sophisticated multi-axis servo and stepper control with minimal host overhead. The card communicates with the host at up to 1.2 MB/second across the PC/104 bus and supports command buffering with on-board sequence storage to reduce host intervention.
