SimpleMotion V2 allows building single and multi-axis motion control applications in three different strategies. The table below summarizes the options.
| Strategy | Implementation | Features | Cons | Need real-time host | Synchronized multi-axis motion | Example implementation & documentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter communication |
Send setpoint commands to a target drive with simple "write parameter" commands |
|
|
No | No | PointToPointExample |
| Buffered motion stream |
List of trajectory coordinate points are uploaded to drive command buffers and executed by drives based on clock |
|
|
No | Yes |
|
| Real-time motion commands |
Position commands are sent to drives just like in parameter communication strategy, except in high update rate and from real-time host |
|
|
Yes | Yes | RealtimeControlExample |
