Hi, PV.

If by "hardware integration" you mean purchasing the board from Delta
Tau and building a system with it, then I don't have experience.  But I
can say that at IMCA-CAT (17-ID at the APS) we have an air bearing
goniometer system made by Alio Industries [1], and it's controlled by a
Delta Tau PMAC Clipper which resides inside the Alio chassis.  We can
run our own motion programs and PLC programs on it.  We interface it to
EPICS with Tpmac [2], communicating with it via Ethernet.  It has worked
nicely for us.
