| Abstract | MCS-8 is an 8 axis motion control system for stepper motors, servo drives and a variety of special drives. Central to the controller is the Delta Tau Turbo PMAC 2 programmable multi axis controller. It incorporates a full PLC specifically designed for positioning and control functions. We have developed a layer on top of the generic and complex Turbo PMAC 2, making the MCS-8 very easy to use as a stand alone box in a control system. Software running on embedded controller can range from EPICS, SPEC to local SCADA system with an Ethernet and RS232 interfaces. MCS-8 is capable of controlling even the most complicated motion such as Stewart-Gough platform (Hexapod). Hexapod offers six degrees of freedom positioning system with sub-micrometer precision and repeatability. PMAC controller is used to calculate kinematics and EPICS for end user interface. Important features are user selectable point of rotation in space and point to point scanning of all six axes. |
