The Software tools communicate using Ethernet, CTNet,
Serial or USB connections. Ethernet allows the software tools
to easily use the internet infrastructure allowing Control
Techniques drives to be accessed remotely, from virtually anywhere
around the world.
PowerTools Pro
Developing motion applications with PowerTools Pro is a simple
“five step, top-down process”. The five steps are displayed within
an explorer bar that allows easy navigation. Each step is
configured using simple check boxes, drop down selections and drag
and drop functionality. The five steps are:
- Hardware Configuration
- Drive Setup
- I/O Setup
- Motion
- Programs
PowerTools Pro is free of charge and can be obtained by
clicking the download tab on this page.
A “BASIC”-like programming language enables users to develop
more complex applications and sequencing with functions being
selected by dragging and dropping onto the work area.
Our PowerTools Pro software enables
you to fully realize the power of our entire servo product line
including; Digitax ST, Epsilon Ep, MDS and Unidrive SP. A familiar
Microsoft® WindowsTM interface provides
operators and machine builders with the tools needed to access
everything they need for complete servo control — Motion Profile
Setup, User Units, Motor Auto-tune, Electronic Gearing, Network
Configuration, and many other advanced features.
Assignments – Use our
"Virtual Wiring" to create programs right out of the box, without
writing a single "line of code." For example, on the assignment
screen simply drag-and-drop the desired machine function onto the
digital inputs and outputs.
Indexes – Setting up
indexes is easily accomplished by filling in the screen’s blanks to
create an index profile. Select from Incremental, Absolute,
Registration, or Rotary Plus and Minus types. Choose the time base
of the index by selecting either real time or synchronized to a
master.
Network – Whatever fieldbus you
are using, setting up network communications is quick and easy.
Fill-in-the-blank, drag-and-drop procedures are used to get your
drives communicating. PowerTools Pro diagnostics couldn’t be more
intuitive, allowing real-time monitoring of the actual data being
sent and received.
Camming – Cam data is
easily entered within PowerTools Pro, and the Cam graphing tool is
second to none, with multiple interpolation types available.
CTSize

- Start by selecting one of the six pre-configured load
types:
Leadscrew, Rack and Pinion, Conveyor, Cylinder, Feedroll and User
Defined
- Fill in the load details on the load tab
- Next, enter the load’s motion profile, making use of
profile type shortcuts or creating multi-segment profiles
- For speed reduction select from Belt/Pulley, Gear/Gear,
Chain/Sprocket,
or Gearbox for up to three separate stages of reduction
- Use the selection tab to select from all products or
narrow
your search to a specific drive and/or motor
- The results tab will display the optimum motor/ drive
combination for your application
