Aerotech launches its new MotionPAC Integrated Motion and Machine Controller. The PC-based device is a single development environment machine controller that combines an industry standard PLC engine with IEC61131-3 programming capabilities such as sequential function block and structured text programming for I/O event handling and the manufacturer's multi-axis motion engine to provide best possible control of moving axes. The system is flexible and highly customisable and includes programming options such as adding custom function blocks using Microsoft’s .NET Framework, or running AeroBASIC programs directly on the controller and interfacing with other interface software such as LabVIEW. Other features include the ability to position axes whilst acquiring high speed digital and analogue data from the controllers inputs, recorded against encoder feedback and ultra-precise output triggering based on encoder position.
