Automation1 Release 2.10 New functions for maximum control

The Automation1 motion control platform is also in the spotlight with the new functionality released in version 2.10 and is setting new standards in motion control.

One of our trade fair highlights is the functional enhancements to the Automation1 motion control platform in release 2.10 with innovative features such as conditional plot display, improved access control and optimised galvo calibration features, we offer a comprehensive machine control solution.

Special innovations include:
● Conditional Plotting - Users will set up plot conditions to do things like change the color of a position signal when an error signal exceeds some threshold. Or hide a signal when a digital input is off.
● Access Control/Secure Communication has been extended to drive-based controllers (out of beta).
● Laser Control at 20khz for controlling laser output at 20kHz granularity on servo axes.
● Galvo Calibration with some new improvements/features, making it easier for customers doing Mark & Measure and allowing users to add a new calibration data tables to the Galvo 2D Axis Calibration file.
● Tuning Improvements - Current Loop FF Configuration and Tuning Recipe Runtime (allow customers to create and upload their own custom tuning recipes).
● Other Improvements: Help file updates, PWM Drive Improvements, API Improvements (.NET & Linux)

With the fully customisable Machine Apps HMI development tool, Automation1 expands the possibilities for machine control with a powerful user interface. The user-friendly solution allows users to create individual HMIs without programming knowledge, configure modules via drag-and-drop and customise interfaces to their own corporate design. "The bottom line is that MachineApps significantly reduces development time and provides machine builders with a flexible, customised solution that enables both intuitive control and quick integration into existing systems," says Brett Heintz, Controls Product Management Group Leader at Aerotech.
