Chapter I Overview 
) About the product 
ADT-8840 is a high-performance and multifunctional Off-Line Motion Control Card, whose hardware consists of 
high-speed microprocessor, large-scope customized IC chips and multilayer PCBs, a structure that integrates the 
technological strengths of various manufacturers at home and abroad and features its high reliability, improved 
performance and proven technology. Embedded in the product are 4-path pulse/direction signal output, phase 
AB+Z pulse input for encoders of four axes, 34-path optical coupler output+4-path alarm input, 18-path optical 
coupler output+4-path axis-control output, two-path RS232 communication module, USB interface and network 
interface. 
ADT-884 is designed on the basis of the control and transmission protocol for Ethernet and TCP/IP protocol, with 
which one system can support 64 control cards that control 256 server/stepping motors. With bandwidth of 
10Mbps, ADT-884 can be operated in a LAN whose bandwidth is 100Mbps. At present, ADT-884 and its 
supporting software can be used in the LAN based on Ethernet or connected to PC’s network interface with the 
crossover cables.
