9 Software

9.1 Configuration

To connect, configure, tune your motor or upgrade the firmware of the Nix, install Ingenia

Motion Lab

suite

. The

software package includes USB drivers.

9.2 Applications

If you want to make your own application to communicate with the Nix and develop standalone or multiaxis

systems, you can use the multi-platform library

MCLIB

9.3 Arduino

To start an Arduino based project easily, connect using the serial RS485 port of the Nix and use our Arduino

Library

Ardulib

Keep the firmware updated

Before configuring your drive for a new application make sure you have upgraded to the latest firmware
revision.
