Program development software for motion control boards

Windows API high performance driver software API-SMC(WDM)

API for Windows programming. Setting for basic motor behaviors such as PTP movement and JOG movement is easy. When inoperable parameter is set, the driver applies correction to target velocity and acceleration and deceleration time and automatically adjust to operable value. Diagnostic tools for simple operation verification and variety of samples according to functions are available.

Extensive sample programs
