### 4. Functionality

The SMC‑2P(PCI) operates as a two‑axis motion controller that outputs pulse trains corresponding to motion commands issued by the host PC. Each axis can be programmed with motion parameters such as target position, velocity, and acceleration/deceleration profiles. The board autonomously executes these motion sequences using its onboard frame memory, minimizing CPU load.

Functional Highlights:

- Positioning Control: Executes absolute or incremental positioning based on stored frame data.
- Speed and Acceleration Control: Each frame defines speed and acceleration/deceleration rates for smooth motion transitions.
- Origin Return (ORG): Automatically detects and returns to mechanical home position using dedicated ORG input.
- Limit Protection: Hardware limit inputs prevent over‑travel and protect mechanical systems.
- Synchronous Operation: Multiple boards can be linked for simultaneous start/stop control across up to 32 axes.
- Linear Interpolation: Enables coordinated motion between two axes for contouring or path following.
- Encoder Feedback: Real‑time position verification via high‑speed opto‑isolated encoder inputs.
- General I/O Control: Provides programmable digital inputs and outputs for peripheral device control (e.g., sensors, relays, solenoids).
- Software Integration: Controlled via API‑PAC(W32) library functions, allowing developers to issue motion commands, monitor status, and handle interrupts directly from Windows applications.

Typical Applications:

- Precision positioning systems
- CNC and machine tool control
- Semiconductor wafer handling
- Pick‑and‑place robotics
- Automated inspection and measurement systems
- Laboratory automation and motion research setups
