.NET, C, Python & LabVIEW APIs Custom Application Develotpmen

Automation1’s .NET, C and Python APIs and Automation1 Instrument Driver for LabVIEW provide powerful programming capabilities for machine builders and system integrators who develop their own custom applications. With Automation1’s .NET API, you’ll have access to the same capabilities used by our software development team. The C and Python APIs include many common features, so a system configured using Automation1 Studio can be fully controlled using each API. Even more functionality comes from our most fully featured Automation1 Instrument Driver for LabVIEW.

Design Features

Connect to & control the Automation1 controller from .NET, C, Python or LabVIEW

Deploy applications to Windows or Linux operating systems

Execute commands & collect data on the controller

Retrieve status from the controller

Change controller variables

Compile, run & control AeroScript programs

Use a command queue with the .Net or C API

Configure your system & compile programs using the .NET API

Automation1

The Automation1 .NET, C and Python APIs plus Automation1 Instrument Driver for LabVIEW are part of the user-friendly Automation1 motion control platform, which includes the following:

Development Software

Controls

Motor Drives

Fiber-Optic HyperWire® Communication Bus

Cross-Platform Support

The .NET API is built on .NET Core, making the applications deployable on both Windows and Linux operating systems. The C and Python APIs also enjoy cross-platform support. When using Automation1 APIs with drive-based controllers, you can completely remove the Windows operating system from your controls architecture.

Motion Plus More

From programming simple motion to coordinating and synchronizing the motion of multiple axes in your machine, the iSMC provides the flexibility and power you need to tackle today’s automation challenges.

The Automation1 controller enables different approaches to incorporating vision systems, robotics, laser control, sensors and more. Automation1 APIs sit side by side with other APIs to build complex control architectures and custom user interfaces. The Automation1 controller includes the AeroScript program language, which runs on a deterministic real-time operating system. Many users take a hybrid approach, using both an Automation1 API and the AeroScript language for highly-customized, highly performing systems.

Continuous Improvement

The APIs and device drivers improve as the Automation1 platform improves. As we engineer new controller features and capabilities, they are made accessible via the APIs and device drivers.
