Embedded motion Control Board
.
Googol's inverted pendulum system is a nonlinear unstable system, an ideal experiment platform for teaching control theories and conducting various control experiments. Many abstract control concepts, such as the stability and the controllability of a control system, can all be shown visually through the inverted pendulum system. In addition to educational purposes, an inverted pendulum is also an excellent tool for researchers of modern control theories. Through continuous research,  new control methods haven been developed and then applied to high-tech industries such as aeronautical engineering and robotics.
Embedded Processor Unit
 
Googol's embedded motion control boards is a system which connects the Embedded Processor Unit (PC104 Main Board) with any of the Googol's open-architectural GE/GT/GH motion control board series to form a system for Embedded Motion Control System. It is highly reliable, easy to upgrade and due to the fact that the motion control board and the PC are connected by pin insertion which are tightly joined and mutually independent. Such a perfect combination of industrial PC and motion control board into one unit gets rid of system instability from using slot connection, while all functions of the motion control board are maintained at the same time. In comparison with the PC plug-in motion control board, the embedded system shows the advantages of high reliability under humid, dusty, vibrated and magnetic industrial environments, and lower customer cost because no extra PC is needed. It can be used as an ideal CNC development platform for many kinds of industrial applications such as PCB drilling, engraving, laser cutting etc.
