Why does the Robotics and Motion Platform use an FPGA, surely this is overkill for motor control applications?

Question

MOBrien · Accepted Answer

Traditionally, motion control involved the use of low-cost microcontrollers. Today&rsquo;s demanding production environments, though, require real-time, low-latency, and flexibility in sensing and feedback options and the trends all lead to FPGAs. The Reconfigurable Motion and Robotics Platform can help you develop better high-precision industrial robotics devices and provides you with the flexibility needed to tackle a wide variety of motion control applications required for Smart Manufacturing.)
