Motion control system reduces integration costs
Nyquist Industrial Control has extended its range of motion-control systems with the NYCe4000 - a rugged, high-end, industrial motion control system with integrated drive technology
Machine application programmers typically develop their machine applications using only a set of C libraries and header files.
This often requires a great deal of time and effort to make the fully functional, multi-threaded applications which are needed for today's machines.
To help make this task easier, Nyquist now offers NYCeTalk, a user friendly machine control tool and accompanying programming language.

No complex compiling and linking is needed.
Application jobs are entered in simple NYCeTalk commands and interpreted by the machine controller.
NYCeTalk can be used to monitor and debug the jobs as they are being executed.
At the same time it provides an instant human machine interface.
The NYCeTalk language may be easily extended to include customer-defined commands.
This increases the customers' flexibility in creating NYCeTalk application jobs.
The goal of a NYCeTalk user is to define and control a complete machine from one point of view and with one tool.
The high level NYCeTalk commands are designed to control machines that contain one or more different mechanisms.
Each mechanism may contain a set of servo axes and I/O configurations.
Commands are provided for control of single, multiple and kinematically coupled axes that integrate an array of motion, I/O and control functionality.
3 or 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) trajectory generation enables the creation of lines and circles in 3D space.
Besides typical NYCeTalk commands like 'MoveRobot' also the G-code command set is supported.
NYCeTalk is part of the NYCeLauncher environment and available for all NYCe3000 components.
