Some common PMC software tools (Click image to enlarge)

The right software tools are crucial for the success of any complex automation project. Accordingly, PMC offers machine designers a comprehensive Motion Control Application Programming Interface (MCAPI), which includes DLL's, extensive help files and numerous useful sample programs with source code, for C, C++, C#, VB and Pascal programmers, as well as Motion Integrator, an extensive suite of graphical and intuitive setup, tuning and diagnostic utilities.

These software tools are designed to help machine builders get up-and-running quickly, whether their control program requires just a few basic commands, or the complexity and sophistication of a multi-threaded C/C++ host application.

To further simplify the integration task and to eliminate any hidden costs, all software is included at no extra charge. And to ensure that users get the most out of their programming investment, PMC software is compatible with all of our PC-based controllers - offering backward compatibility and the assurance of an easy future upgrade path.
