Aerotech SOFTWARE A3200 MOTION COMPOSER SUITE

One Software. Many Solutions.

The A3200 Motion Composer Suite is the development solution

your team needs. Part of the Automation 3200 machine and

multi-axis motion control platform, the Motion Composer suite

allows your team to deploy complex automation solutions. The

suite includes the following applications:

• A3200 Configuration Manager

• A3200 Motion Composer IDE

• A3200 Digital Scope

• A3200 Status Utility

Mechanics and Controls Under One Roof

Aerotech knows what software features are needed to drive

performance. We have learned it from our engineering and

manufacturing team living under one roof since 1970.

Not only do we design and build precision stages and controls in

the same building, but we test and validate customer applications

using a “system” approach. The A3200 software tools are

designed to enable meeting those system specifications. As a

company locked into the precision mechanics market, our software,

controls, and drives continuously evolve to meet those demands.

Connect and Go

The A3200 Platform makes setting up your motion control

solution easy. Quickly set up drives, motors, and stages with the

Configuration Manager application. This is one of the several

tools integrated in the Motion Composer Suite that makes

your team fast and effective. Team members work together to

quickly develop a new solution or they can work from an existing

configuration with advanced parameter importing and exporting tools.

Setting up process automation is also quick and easy. The A3200

Motion Composer Suite has integrated tools for configuring an

EtherCAT, PROFINET, or Modbus Fieldbus network. Fieldbus

I/O and expandable I/O on Aerotech drive hardware is directly

accessible within the AeroBasic real-time programming language.

Develop and Test Real-Time Applications

The A3200 Motion Composer Suite includes a powerful

environment for real-time developers. With the 

Motion Composer IDE you can develop, debug, and deploy

real-time application code to the controller. The Motion

Composer IDE can connect to a “virtual controller” and simulate

your application in a virtual mode. This is a powerful development

feature that allows engineers to prove-out complex processes.

For developers who aren’t working at the real-time level and

prefer a standard programming language, the controller can be

accessed via .NET, C, and C++ libraries; a REST API; a MATLAB

library; and LabVIEW VIs.

Tune and Optimize Your Process

Optimize motor setup and servo performance with the Digital

Scope’s optimization tools. Ensure your motor is phased and

commutating correctly and that the encoder is optimized for

performance. Continue to optimize by evaluating the servo loop

and using powerful loop shaping tools to maximize performance.

Or take the easy route. Use Aerotech’s EasyTune one-button

servo optimizer that makes tuning simple.

Getting Results

The Motion Composer Suite can optimize applications that use

different types of motion including point-to-point, contoured, and

holding position. It can optimize your application no matter the

level of precision. Run your motion program on the controller

while the Digital Scope collects position, velocity, and acceleration

commands, feedback, and error. The results are plotted in multidimensional views, 

and Fourier transforms are performed to

identify any troublesome frequency content.

Relationship-Driven Support

During each phase of your development process and your

machine’s operational life cycle, we have a team ready to support

your needs. Our Field Sales and Application team is an extension

of your design team even while you are still considering solution

options for your system.

When engineering your solution, Aerotech continues to serve as a

resource to your team. We can be brought on as a design partner,

or we can offer a simple consultation. Customers use our system

engineering expertise to expand upon their own capabilities.

As you build, commission, operate, and service your system,

Aerotech’s Global Technical Support team supports and guides

your efforts. We have technology experts that can optimize your

process and develop code for your machine.
