Article: RISC-processor punches up performance.(Brief Article)

Thanks to the short instruction-set length of its 32-bit RISC processor, Aromat's FP[sigma] (Sigma) consunes less overhead to execute its function set, according to Assistant Manager Gustavo Vargas. "The result is a PLC with super fast I/O processing speeds of 16 nanosec, that can perform several functions much faster than a standard CPU." With networking capabilities, built-in PID loop control, high-speed counter, and up to 100 kHz of pulse output, the compact (3.55 x 1.18 x 2.36 inch) FP[sigma] is suitable for motion control applications that require extensive communication. Three communication cassette options let ...
