AsMotion Real-Time Motion Control Kernel
Motion Control System
AsMotion is a Windows hard real-time motion control master system built on the x86 CPU architecture. It features multi-core isolation and a parallel dual-kernel design (real-time/non-real-time) to deliver microsecond-level stable response. Leveraging the EtherCAT high-speed bus, it enables multi-axis synchronization, supports standard CoE protocols and DS402 servo specifications, and provides comprehensive motion control functions including axis group interpolation, electronic cam/gear profiles, position comparison, error compensation, and command buffering. Paired with the asWinCat graphical configuration tool, AsMotion allows for rapid deployment of high-precision motion control platforms for semiconductor, 3C, laser, and robotics equipment. It serves as a high-performance soft motion control solution that replaces PCI control cards and traditional PLCs.
Key Features
- •Hard Real-Time Performance: Multi-core isolated scheduling with control cycles of 0.25ms, 05ms, and 1ms. Ultra-low jitter.
- •EtherCAT Master: Standard bus protocol with DC distributed clock, daisy-chain topology, supporting up to 96 axes.
- •Powerful trajectory capabilities: linear, circular, helical, and continuous small-segment interpolation with S-curve and constant-time smoothing.
- •Comprehensive control functions: electronic cam, electronic gear, 6-command buffering, lifter position comparison, and 3-axis/6-axis group control
- •High compensation accuracy: pitch error compensation, position segment compensation, and backlash compensation ensure stable long-term precision.
- •Debug Visualization: asWinCat supports bus scanning, oscilloscope, IO Debug, and one-click parameter read/write.
- •Broad Compatibility: Supports mainstream EtherCAT servo/stepper drives from Inovance, Yaskawa, Panasonic, Delta, and more.
- •Developer-friendly: C/C++ DLL API with support for Visual Studio and Qt, plus complete sample projects.
