| Ormec--New MotionObjects ActiveX Control Software |
 ORMEC's ServoWire SM now offers a MotionObjects ActiveX Control to speed software development using Visual Basic. The combination of MotionObjects and ServoWire SM soft motion drives reduces system costs and complexity by eliminating the need for motion control boards. MotionObjects for ActiveX Control is a software development kit for developing ServoWire SM applications in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, VB.NET or other programs that act as an ActiveX container. The MotionObjects ActiveX control offers object-oriented tools for motion control programming, a Soft Motion Engine and tools for software connectivity between a host PC running Windows NT/2000/XP, VenturCom RTX, standard FireWire (OHCI) adapters & ServoWire SM drives. ORMECs MotionObjects Class Library and ActiveX Control provide software building blocks by integrating motion control into the Microsoft C/C++ and Visual Basic programming languages. This allows programmers to develop software in a single, standard language using Microsoft Visual Studio, while preserving the base of application programming customers have already developed. The combination of todays high performance processors and carefully layered and distributed software enables the use of true object-oriented programming methods, so you can easily add motion objects to your current base of application programming. In most cases, real-time high-performance servo applications can be solved with standard languages running under Windows on standard PCs, saving significant time and money. Advanced Motion Capabilities: Time-based and electronically line shafted (geared) motion, using advanced fractional count algorithms proven in hundreds of applications, offer a wide range of motion programming options. All motions can be triggered based on external sensor input signals, as well as application program software triggers. Time-based and geared moves can be run on top of (superimposed on) constant-speed or constant-ratio motions. Repeat moves can be automatically triggered within one loop update, without the need for additional application programming. Advanced user units simplify program development, readability and maintenance by allowing motions to be commanded in real-world terms.
