MOTORCORTEX Software

A Linux Distribution that is geared towards real-time embedded systems. It has the MOTORCORTEX-Core library, EtherCAT drivers and MOTORCORTEX-Desk already installed. The system already has everything on-board to start development of control systems, such as a build-system (cmake) and a compiler. For advanced development Vectioneer provides an SDK and plugin for CLion that supports cross-compilation and deployment to the target system. The system also supports running inside a virtual machine, although in that case it is not hard-realtime. This is useful for testing the control system and running the controls without having access to the machine hardware.

The basis of any MOTORCORTEX based control application. It provides an application framework for real-time control systems. It supports multiple real-time and non-realtime tasks in the same system and reliable communication between tasks, even across CPUs. It is especially designed to be scalable and to use modern multi-core architectures to their full potential. It supports Intel as well as ARM architectures. Non-commercial license.

The same as MOTORCORTEX-Core but with added secure communication and warranty and support. Commercial license.

A control systems library that has many control blocks such as filters, limiters, PID controllers, lookup tables, and complete control loops for hydraulic and electrical systems.

A library to build control applications for robotic systems and an user interface application to operate and program robots visually. It includes forward and inverse kinematics and dynamics for serial and parallel robots, 6DOF trajectory generation, a motion command language (joint motion, cartesian motion), and more.

An on-line tool to build graphical user interfaces for the web browser. The user interfaces can be downloaded and installed on the controller.

A browser based tracing and plotting tool. It allows plotting signals and modifying system parameters. It also has functionality to record and export data.
