Programming ACS-Based PI Motion Controllers with Python
Adding more Functionality to PI's Ethercat-based ACS Controllers
This technote and sample program is intended to be an approachable demonstration of basic Python programming for communicating with PI's ACS-based motion controllers. Python is a flexible, simple, and accessible programming option that has a strong community. Combining the power of PI hardware with the availability and strengths of Python further enhances your ability to deploy world-leading precision automation. This technote will walk you through building a basic Graphical User Interface (GUI) for communication with an ACS-based PI controller or simulator.
