The MOTENC-100 board, from Vital Systems is a passive motion control board with a 3.3 and 5 Volts tolerant PCI bus interface. The card has several devices on board that are required for motion control applications, e.g., encoder counters, DAC MAXIM MAX547, ADC MAXIM MAX125, and I/Os. All devices are under direct control of host PC. Following is a list of features available on board:

• Analog Inputs: Range +/-5Volts, 14-bit Resolution. 8-Channels;
• Analog Outputs: +/-10V, 13-Bit Resolution, 8-Channels;
• Encoders: 8 Differential Encoder Inputs. 32-Bit Resolution;
• I/Os: 100 Digital I/O (68 Inputs & 32 Outputs) in four 50-pin headers. (Opto-22 compatible);
• Programmable Timer Interrupts;
• Watch Dog Timer;
• Filters at Digital Inputs remove High frequency noise;
• Hardware Board ID for multiple board applications;
• EMC ready.

The MOTENC-100 board incorporates a 32-bit data bus, and requires all read & write access to be 32-bit wide. The board is memory mapped (no I/O mapping) and takes up 512 bytes of address space in PCI region (BAR) number 2. The Read/Write Access must also be Double Word (32bit) aligned. This PCI board provides the necessary hardware components to implement a precision motion control and data aquisition system. But there is, also, another board for these purposes, MOTENC-Lite with several devices on board that are required for motion control applications (DAC MAXIM MAX547, ADC MAXIM MAX125 and so on). All devices are under direct control of host PC. Following is a list of features available on board:
