Prodigy® Motion Cards
PMD’s Prodigy® Motion Control Cards offer high-performance motion control for scientific, automation, industrial, and robotic applications. They provide multi-axis motion control for multiple motor types including DC brush, brushless DC, step, and microstepping motors and are available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-axis versions. Available in PC-104, PCI and Stand-Alone PCB configurations, they support a wide range of system architectures.
