D-BOX Motion Systems are evolutive and scalable. Integrated into a seat, platform or simulator, they are 
designed to simulate a range of textures and scalable axes of movement. Whatever you require, D-BOX can help 
you select the best arrangement of actuators. 

The following components are part of the D-BOX 

Motion System

 

 

Motion System

: a complete architecture of hardware and software providing motion. 

 

Actuator

: an assembly of motor and mechanic providing movements and vibrations. 

 

Actuator Control Module

 (ACM): provides power and control to the actuators. Controls the power sent 

to the motor and adjusts the precise rotation according to the feedback from an encoder within the 
actuator. 

 

Communication Module

: electronic component used to transmit motion code, converting a signal 

format to another one.  

 

Motion Source

: various applications generating motion data for the D-BOX Motion System. 

 

When integrating your D-BOX system, please comply with the following guidelines. If you must deviate 
from the guidelines, please contact us to make sure you are still using the system as prescribed.

The D-BOX Motion System requires the installation of the Motion Core application on the host PC. The 
application is available for download on the D-BOX website (www.d-box.com) 
Please follow the Motion Core instructions for installation and use.
