Developer’s Kits
PMD Developer Kits provide a complete hardware and software environment for motion control design using PMD’s ICs, drives, amplifiers, and controller boards. Each kit typically includes:
- Surface-mount card or drive unit
- Interconnection cables and mounting hardware
- Pro-Motion® motor setup and optimisation software
- C-Motion® and VB-Motion® development tools
- Sample code, schematics, and full documentation
These kits support rapid prototyping, system evaluation, and custom application development across a range of motor types and control architectures.
ION®/CME N-Series Digital Drives
The ION/CME N-Series Developer’s Kit supports rapid integration with PMD’s compact, high-performance digital drives. Designed for multi-axis motion systems, robotics, and precision automation, it enables fast prototyping and reliable deployment across CANopen, RS-232/485, and SPI interfaces. Built-in motion profiles, PID control, and encoder feedback make it ideal for demanding control environments.
ATLAS Digital Amplifiers
The ATLAS Developer’s Kit simplifies amplifier integration for brushless DC, DC brush, and step motors. With flexible 1, 2, or 4-axis configurations and modular mounting options, it’s well-suited for scalable OEM platforms. The kit supports vertical and horizontal layouts, optional heat sink tabs, and streamlined connectivity for external control logic.
Prodigy/CME Machine-Controller
The Prodigy/CME Developer’s Kit provides a robust platform for building embedded motion control applications. Supporting coordinated multi-axis control, it’s ideal for standalone systems or host-managed environments. Compatible with CAN, RS-232/485, and Ethernet, it offers flexible integration and real-time performance tuning
ION Digital Drives
The ION Developer’s Kit offers a quick-start solution for evaluating PMD’s digital drive technology. Available in 500 W and 3000 W models, with CAN or Serial communication options, it supports encoder feedback, profile generation, and flexible I/O. Ideal for motor tuning, system testing, and embedded drive integration.
MAGELLAN Motion Control ICs
