SDK for ctrlX MOTION API

ctrlX MOTION not only covers standard up to high end motion control functionality but also offers a powerful API to extend these functions with customer IP.

The Software Development Kit (SDK) for ctrlX MOTION API is the toolbox to implement extensions for the motion functionality of the ctrlX MOTION app. Typical areas of functional extensions are

• user defined kinematic transformations

• additional filters or

• customized safe zone functionality

The SDK is a collection of helper files, libraries, documentation, description of the API and different code samples. The user can easily adapt these samples and integrate own software and know-how to create an own app with functional extensions for ctrlX MOTION.

With the engineering environment ctrlX WORKS we provide the possibility for an automatic setup of an app build environment, only by pressing a single button.

ctrlX MOTION SDK enables the development of apps in high level language, especially for linux-based ctrlX OS devices. 

The ctrlX MOTION SDK is an extension to the SDK for ctrlX AUTOMATION. The SDK for ctrlX AUTOMATION provides developers tools and resources they need to integrate real-time functions into their applications and ensure that these applications can work in real time. This concerns topics such as:

• Real-time processing

• Real-time scheduling

• Real-time communication

• Real-time diagnosis

• Real-time debugging 

The development of real-time apps can be challenging, as these typically have an impact on the system and can have serious consequences for its integrity. Therefore special training and customer support are preconditions to get access to the ctrlX AUTOMATION real-time SDK and ctrlX MOTION SDK.
