Do PMC controllers support non volatile storage of axis parameters?
PMC’s ISA-bus and VME-bus controllers can be operated in stand-alone mode, and on-board non-volatile parameter storage is an essential requirement to support operation that is independent of a host PC. On the other hand, PMC’s PCI-bus controllers must be plugged into a PC to operate, and for these controllers it is more practical to use the computer’s own file system to save and load axis parameters. PMC’s Motion Control Application Programming Interface (MCAPI) includes functions that allow the programmer to easily save and load the settings required to initialize the axes of any PMC motion controller.
