PAC - Programmable Analog Controller

PAC is fully hardware and software configurable. The dynamic controller reconfiguration in the hard real-time regime was demonstrated by the Active Magnetic Levitation System. Analog and digital programmable units are open for custom signal processing.

Main featrues: Configurable Input/Outputs A/D Module D/A Module 32bit microcontrollers Analog Processors Module Power Driver Module Stepper Motor Module Power Supply Modules USB/Ethernet communication Configurable number of Modules Stackable configuration
