You program the DSP series controllers using MEI's flexible C function libraries with over 250 motion control functions. Combining MEI C libraries with compilers from Microsoft, Borland, Watcom, and Symantec speeds development of complex motion applications.

DSP series controllers provide a rich set of software algorithms, including a sophisticated second-order PID control algorithm with velocity, acceleration, and friction feed-forward.
Advanced features include electronic gearing and camming, dual-loop control, circular and linear interpolation, and trapezoidal, S-curve, parabolic, and custom motion profiles.

DSP series controllers allows motion control programs to share execution between the on-board DSP (for numerically intensive real-time functions) and the host (for non-real-time functions). This results in an ideal division of labor with minimal host intervention.
