Motion Synergy API

The Motion Synergy API is an all-in-one motion control software solution designed for seamless integration with Dover Motion products. It facilitates multi-stage and multi-axis setup, control, and plotting, offering advanced motion profiles for precise device management.

Compatible with a variety of programming interfaces, including .NET, C++, Python, LabVIEW, and LUA scripts, the software supports multiple operating systems such as Windows 10, Windows 11, and Linux Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 LTS. Communication options include RS-232, RS-485, and CAN 2.0B.

The software's architecture is designed to reduce setup time and enhance integration efficiency, providing robust libraries and a compilable interface for rapid development. It includes built-in logging, sample programs, and customizable motion profiles.

Main Features

• Fast initial motion control setup
• Compatibility with all SmartStage ecosystem products
• Multiple interface options
• Built-in logging and sample programs
• Customizable motion profiles

The main interface includes functionalities such as initialization, homing, move profile parameter selection, and position and sensor status checks. The Motion Tuning screen offers access to tuning parameters like PID variables, acceleration and velocity feedforward, and drive circuit current loop tuning, with bi-quad filters configurable as notch or low pass filters.

The Plotting screen allows for the setup of plots using up to four variables, with options for manual or triggered start and stop, unit changes, and series analysis.

Applications of the Motion Synergy API include general automation, metrology, sequential field imaging, TDI imaging with camera capture synchronization, and laser scanning with position-triggered actions.
