Dunkermotoren, an AMETEK brand, is constantly developing its drive technology solutions under the keywords of decentralization, modularity and flexibility. in 2021, the IIoT own brand nexofox published the MotionCode programming environment. This offers customers software features that go far beyond the motor hardware and enable the implementation of decentralized and modular automation architectures.

With the latest facelift, the focus has shifted even further to the user. "The aim was to make the implementation of new MotionCode projects as simple as possible," explains Markus Weishaar, Director IIoT & Services at Dunkermotoren. "Our customers now have a much simpler and more intuitive user interface at their disposal," says Weishaar.

In concrete terms, this means that basic functions are integrated even more deeply and can be executed without any detours. For example, the download to the motor can be carried out directly from the development environment and without the use of additional tools, as the environment recognizes connected drives directly. At the same time, completely new functions such as debugging have been integrated with the facelift. This makes it possible to carry out comprehensive error correction in the source code from the development environment, thereby significantly simplifying and accelerating development.

In future versions, it should also be possible to program several motors directly in a single project instead of having to create a separate MotionCode for each motor. As usual, the current MotionCode environment is available as a free download on the Dunkermotoren homepage. Get started today and unleash the power of MotionCode. Are you new to programming? No problem! The experts at nexofox will be happy to assist you and implement your applications in MotionCode according to your ideas.
