- 100Mbps Ethernet connection to the motion controller gives you plug and play access to the motion controller. The high bandwidth of this standard communication channel ensures maximum performance of the motion platform servo drives giving you quick response time to get the best out of your system. This makes it possible to simulate for a wide range of applications, from slow soft movement to rough and very hard vibration.
- Ethernet connection also allows you to place your motion control PC wherever you want. Easy to find cables, easy to find switches, etc.
- Auto-monitoring / auto recovery system: the software provides a robust interface to the motion controller and the platform. Any disconnection is auto-recovered to avoid interruption.
- Load indication: At all times the load of the motors can be monitored from the main screen. This will guarantee maximum performance at all time.
- Easy manual control of each axis. They can be individually controlled or in a multi-axis mode. This allows maximum working flexibility for setup and service of your system.
- Quick and easy configuration of the platform settings. The entire platform behavior can be adapted to the needs of your setup.
