Program Your Motion Control Functions
You should now be ready to program your 6200 for your application. Knowing your system’s
motion control requirements, refer now to the 6000 Series Programmer’s Guide for
descriptions of the 6200’s software features and instructions on how to implement them in
your application. Be sure to keep the 6000 Series Software Reference at hand as a reference for
the 6000 Series command descriptions.
For assistance with your programming effort, we recommend that you use the programming
tools provided in Motion Architect for Windows. Additional powerful programming and
product interface tools are available (see below).
Motion Architect Motion Architect ® is a Microsoft ® Windows™ based 6000 product programming tool that
provides these features:
• System configurator and code generator: Automatically generate controller code
for basic system set-up parameters (I/O definitions, feedback device operations, etc.).
• Program editor: Create blocks or lines of 6000 controller code, or copy portions of
code from previous files. You can save program editor files for later use in BASIC, C,
etc., or in the terminal emulator or test panel.
• Terminal emulator: Communicating directly with the 6200, you can type in and
execute controller code, transfer code files to and from the 6200.
• Test panel and program tester: You can create your own test panel to run your
programs and check the activity of I/O, motion, system status, etc. This can be
invaluable during start-ups and when fine tuning machine performance.
• On-line context-sensitive help and technical references: These on-line
resources provide help information about Motion Architect, as well as access to hypertext
versions of the 6000 Series Software Reference and the 6000 Series Programmer’s Guide.
