Available with a single lane PCIE host interface, the MESA 6I25 general purpose industrial I/O card uses standard parallel port pinouts and connectors for compatibility with most parallel port interfaced motion control / CNC breakout cards/ multi axis step motor drives, allowing a motion control performance boost while retaining a reliable real time PCIE interface. Each I/O bit has individually programmable direction and function. Open source FPGA firmware configurations are provided for hardware step/dir generation, PWM generation, analog servo control, absolute (SSI and BISS) and incremental encoder counting, real time remote I/O, timing, event counting, and high speed serial communication. A series of daughtercards are available for industrial motion control, CNC retrofit, high speed real time I/O, RS-422 interfaces, encoder counting, and other applications.
