Release 2.2 of the Control Platform Automation1

In Release 2.2, the previous CNC user interface is replaced by the "Machine Apps HMI development tool". The tool can be adapted to the user interfaces for drive systems. PLC-based systems can be integrated with Ether CAT compatibility. For example, Aerotech has extended the options for precise motion processes to PLC systems when they are embedded in a conventional system with lower precision.

With the release 2.2 of Automation1, it now functions as a complete machine control system with all components and thus offers much more than just "motion control", concludes Norbert Ludwig, Managing Director of Aerotech.
