MotionCreatorPro 2™ is a Windows-based application development software package included with ADLINK Motion control products. An on-screen display lists all installed axes information and I/O signal status. This utility thus enables the most of ADLINK motion control products to provide precise positioning control with less effort.

(See page 1-20 for more information on MotionCreatorPro 2.)

# Ordering Information

■ PCI-7856

Master-slave distributed motion & I/O master controller

# Introduction

The PCI-7856 is a PCI interface card which offers two ports for Motionnet and HSL systems for distributed motion and I/O in machine automation applications.

HSL technology allows thousands of I/O points to be scanned at the millisecond-level in real time by using mater-slave architecture. Commercial Ethernet cables with RJ45 connector are used for simplified setup of the HSL slaves modules as close as possible to sensor devices which results in a dramatic reduction of wiring. System integrators can benefit from HSL network because it integrates discrete I/O and analog I/O modules. This local network features rapid response, real-time scanning.
