Original Press Release:
Motion Control Software Provides .NET Compatible Objects
VB-Motion(TM) simplifies motion system design using a VB.NET compatible set of COM objects.
Lincoln, MA- Performance Motion Devices, Inc. (PMD) announces the release of VB-Motion, a COM /.NET compatible interface that simplifies the creation of Windows-based software for motion control products. It is supplied with all Magellan-based motion control products, and is used to develop application software and to exercise a system's hardware components.
VB-Motion provides a powerful Visual Basic object-oriented interface to the Magellan API and allows the developer to focus on writing high-level code to control the motion system. It can be easily integrated with any VB6 or VB.NET (including Microsoft VB.NET, Visual Studio.NET and Visual Studio 6) applications. Sample code is provided for developing custom communication interfaces.
Chuck Lewin, CEO and President of PMD comments "Motion control isn't just about encoder rates and servo loop times. Availability of DLL libraries and operating system support is at least as important. Products such as VB-Motion help reduce the cost of developing software, and that's really key in today's environment."
VB-Motion is shipped with all Magellan-based development kits. PMD's Magellan family of products provides high performance, general purpose motion control for DC servo, brushless DC, and step motors. Available Magellan-compatible hardware products include ICs, PCI and PC-104 bus cards, serial and CANBus products. Additional information is available at www.pmdcorp.com
