Application of MYC-Y6ULX-V2 System-On-Module in Motion Control System

With the continuous trend of automation from semi-automatic to fully automatic, the whole industry's requirements for the "brain" of automation - control system are increasingly high, not only need to have easy-to-use operating system, but also to achieve independent operation in the production process, adaptive control, etc.

When the mechanical motion control system is put into practical use, the control system of automatic production will be continuously optimized and improved with the demand, and it also promotes the progress and development of the control system hardware and software. The first is the precision control of the multi-axis motion of the control system, which requires a large number of real-time data analysis and calculation to ensure the operation of high precision, high response, stability and reliability. Then the main frequency of the CPU needs to have strong enough performance, processing power and memory capacities to fully meet the needs of the computing. Secondly, the control system can be separated from the extra configuration of the PC host. The integrated control system is more convenient to use, and it also saves space and runs independently. In addition, the industrial screen display of the control system is easy to learn and use.

The motion control system based on the MYC-Y6ULX-V2 System-On-Module can be designed with high-definition display to achieve better human-machine interaction and flexible control system; and use analog signal, USB, IO and other interfaces for accurate acquisition and efficient transmission to make the system realize extremely high accuracy and stability in operating.

MYIR provides a solution for the application of motion control system based on MYC-Y6ULX-V2 SOM according to customer's requirements.

1. The MYC-Y6ULX-V2 is using the high-performance and low-cost NXP i.MX 6UL/6ULL ARM Cortex-A7 CPU running up to 900MHz, with professional and reliable hardware circuit design.

2. It has sufficient memory and storage capacities with 512MB DDR3 and 4GB eMMC flash (other RAM and Flash configurations are optional or can be customized).

3. It supports parallel LCD display which is easy to operate and can meet the requirements of high-speed computing with high resolution, high response, and high reliability during motion control.

4. It is provided with rich peripheral interfaces including 2x CAN, 8x Serial ports, 8x ADC, 4x I2C and more others to allow flexible development according to customers’ demand and enable automatic and intelligent applications for the motion control system.

The size of the MYC-Y6ULX-V2 System-On-Module (SOM) is only 37mm*39mm, and the circuit design is highly integrated. The 140-pin expansion interface has brought out rich peripheral resources, which is convenient for customers to develop their applications flexibly. The MYC-Y6ULX-V2 module adopts high-density stamp hole package to allow fast data transmission and stable performance, with small form factor, it is also beneficial to save more space and cost. The MYC-Y6ULX-V2 SOM has undergone a series of software and hardware tests, including aging test, critical signal quality test, high-and-low temperature test and software stress test to ensure that the module has reliable performance and can work normally in harsh industrial environments.
