A3200 Motion Simulator
This product is not recommended for new designs. Instead, please see the Automation1 MachineApps HMI Builder for all new designs. Motion Simulator software is an easy-to-use Windows®-based program for creating simple and advanced motion stimuli for testing and calibrating customer inertial sensors and systems. Motion Simulator software includes all controls for manually or automatically running one- to three-axis motion simulations. The GUI provides a user interface and programming environment that requires no third-party development software.

- Operate 1-, 2- or 3-axis motion simulators
- Graphical motion profile PVAT (Position, Velocity, Acceleration, Time) importing
- PVAT GUI profile generation and editing
- Position Synchronized Output (PSO) for real-time event triggering
- Trajectory tracking from analog inputs
- Frequency response mode allows an input motion sine sweep and measures the customer device frequency response to the input excitation
- Iterative Learning minimizes position error
- GUI remote client-server mode allows parallel processing capabilities and control via Ethernet network
- Harmonic Cancellation optimizes motion position errors generated by sinusoidal motion
- No dependence on third-party motion controller, amplifier or software suppliers
Aerotech Motion Simulator – The Integrated, Easy to Use, Graphical Trajectory Generation, Data Analysis, and Enhanced Machine Performance Toolkit
- Learning algorithms designed to reduce position error between runs let the system improve the move and settle results.
- Profile Mode allows users to import an existing trajectory from MATLAB® or other programs consisting of position, velocity, and/or acceleration state vectors from an external file to simplify profile input.
- Plot trajectories and use analysis tools in the time or frequency domain to give detailed motion evaluation.
- Create and modify multi-axis trajectories using predefined building blocks to provide rapid motion prototyping.
- Overlap multiple runs of a trajectory to easily see how program changes modify the motion.
- Create and export a trajectory to an AeroBasic™ program for optimized motion function. These saved functions can be combined to run complex motion simulations.
- Perform data analysis such as FFT, max, min, and rms from an existing trajectory for diagnosing system performance.
- If customers prefer, our motion controllers do have LabVIEW®, Microsoft .NET, or C drivers along with sample code for easy programming in familiar development environments.
- Data input file formats include Excel, CSV, or MATLAB®. If only partial trajectory information is known, such as position versus time or acceleration versus time, Motion Simulator can calculate the other required state variables.
