New Application Wizard

Application Wizards provide step-by-step instructions to guide the first-time user through controller configuration and simple motion programming. Each Motion Developer "project" stores all of the configuration, motion and program information for a complete multi-axis system. Projects can be reused or modified at any time.

Configuration Wizard

Setting up your system is simplified with drop-down motor/drive lists complete with pictures. The S2K "autotune"function provides a novice user with a way to get optimum performance without having in-depth knowledge of tuning parameters.

Motion Wizard

Adding new motion blocks is as easy as selecting the move type from the available list and filling in the blanks. Up to 100 motion blocks can be created and called by any of the four programmers. Once created, these motion blocks can be saved in the library (drawer) under a user-specified name for reuse in future projects.

Graphical Motion Editor

Motions can be created or edited with Motion Developer's graphical editing feature. Simply place your cursor on the position, velocity or acceleration graphs and drag to the desired value.

Text Editor

Motion Developer provides a chromacolor text editor for editing wizard-developed motion blocks and programs. In addition, the editor allows "power users" to bypass wizards and graphical editors and go right to a clean sheet of paper. Multiple editors can be open at the same time making copying, drag/dropping, etc., easy.

On-line Menu

Motion Developer also includes tools to aid in quick startup and debugging. The Controller Functions provide the user with a convenient way to start/stop motion blacks or programs, view or reset system status and faults, and open the data watch window or the terminal window for immediate mode communications with the selected controller. The histogram function allows the user to view an "o'scope-style" trend chart for a selected variable. The date watch window allows you to monitor both system and user variables.
