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.
