More Information

Overview Manuals Axis Interface Motion Profiles Commissioning Product Applications

Features:

  • Two-axis coordination: Independent moves and interpolation are available from one Universal PCI board.
  • Flexible pulse interface: Common pulse-command formats support qualified stepper or servo drive connections.
  • PC-based integration: Motion functions, feedback and machine I/O can be coordinated by the host application and matching driver.
PCI-1220U is used where an industrial PC must command two pulse-input motion axes and monitor their position feedback.

Its usefulness depends on the complete control chain: operating-system support, Advantech driver, application code, breakout wiring, drive settings and machine limits.

Acceptance should start with disabled power stages, then prove signal polarity, feedback direction, limits, single-axis travel and coordinated paths in controlled stages.

Apter Power can help confirm the Advantech PCI-1220U 2-Axis Universal PCI Motion Control Card, driver context and connector requirements before quotation.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Pulse format: Match CW/CCW or pulse/direction to the exact connected drive configuration.
  • Encoder feedback: Verify channel wiring, voltage interface and direction before closing a position loop.
  • Limit inputs: Prove positive, negative and home sensors independently from software travel limits.
  • Connector map: Preserve the approved 50-pin breakout and cable pinout for each machine axis.
  • Acceleration shape: Select trapezoidal or S-curve behavior from the real mechanism and load.
  • Interpolation setup: Validate coordinate direction and scale before executing a circular or multi-axis path.
  • Handwheel control: Apply suitable scale and enable logic so manual pulses cannot exceed safe travel.
  • Pulse ceiling: Keep command frequency inside both the board and receiving-drive limits.
  • Driver baseline: Record the host operating system, Advantech driver and application version.
  • Restricted motion: Begin with low speed, low acceleration and a controlled travel envelope.
  • Direction proof: Compare commanded sign, physical travel and encoder count before full-power tests.
  • Safety separation: Confirm emergency stopping remains effective without relying on the host application.
  • Indexing machinery: Coordinates two pulse-commanded axes for repeatable point-to-point moves.
  • Inspection systems: Positions parts or sensors under PC-based test software.
  • Dispensing equipment: Produces controlled linear or interpolated paths when the mechanics are qualified.
  • Legacy PC motion: Restores an installed Universal PCI control position with the original driver and wiring evidence.
Description
PCI-1220U adds two axes of pulse-command motion control to an industrial computer through a Universal PCI interface, supporting independent and coordinated machine movement.

Linear and circular interpolation, programmable acceleration profiles, handwheel input and encoder feedback allow PCI-1220U to coordinate positioning tasks without reducing selection to pulse rate alone.

Successful reuse of PCI-1220U depends on the matching driver, application code, connector breakout, axis signal standard and machine safety design, because the board is a motion interface rather than a standalone safety controller.

Technical notes
PCI-1220U motion outputs and software stops are not independent machine-safety functions. Before commissioning, verify pulse polarity, encoder direction, limit inputs and emergency-stop architecture with motor power restricted. Stop if the original driver, connector pinout or external isolation cannot be reproduced from controlled documentation at the machine.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
PCI-1220U is detected by the computer but the axis never moves. What should commissioning separate first?
Separate driver and application status from pulse wiring, drive enable, command format and machine interlocks before replacing the card.
A motor moves opposite to the command from PCI-1220U. Can encoder channels simply be swapped?
Do not change feedback casually. Compare pulse direction, drive configuration and encoder sign, then correct the documented interface with motion restricted.
Can PCI-1220U perform the machine emergency-stop function through software?
No. Use an independent safety design that removes or controls hazardous energy even if the PC, driver or motion application fails.
A circular path from PCI-1220U is distorted although each axis can jog. What evidence should be reviewed?
Check axis scale, direction, pulse format, acceleration limits, mechanical backlash and the coordinate data used by the interpolation command.
PCI-1220U must be moved to a newer PC. Is the PCI connector the only compatibility check?
No. Confirm slot signaling, operating-system and driver support, application dependencies, BoardID handling and the existing breakout interface.
What should accompany an RFQ for PCI-1220U used as a service spare?
Provide the exact board model, host PC and operating system, driver version, connector and cable details, axis types, condition and quantity.
