Motion Control Software

About Motion Control Software

Motion control software uses advanced algorithms for programming, monitoring, and optimizing digital motion control products. Motion control software can be used to control everything from servo hardware components to robotic assembly units across wired and wireless network systems. Motion control systems typically handle multiple types of platforms such as PC software that utilizes double precision-point calculations through the arithmetic logic units (ALU) of today’s high-speed processors to computerized numerical control (CNC motion control) systems. Motion control software is also used to communicate with motion control cards installed at the PC board level. These cards vary in specification, but all are designed to provide multi-axis (e.g. 1, 2, 3 or 4-directional) motion control for brushed servo, brushless servo, stepping, and microstepping motors. Common card standards include peripheral component interconnect (PCI) cards, PC-based Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) cards, and PC/104 connection cards.
