Apps

The desktop and mobile apps configure and control the Hig-Mover actuators and the optional Hig-Hub bus master.

Group mover control:

Assign up to 8 movers to preset “Set preset” group and / or “Go to preset” group.
Enable / disable group movers.
Jog group movers.
Assign up to 5 position presets for each mover.
Set speeds and ramps for group movers.

Single mover control:

Jog mover forward and reverse, momentarily or continuously, at user-selected speed.
Slew to absolute position (trapezoidal profile).
Slew relative distance (trapezoidal profile).
Set soft limits. Limits can be typed in or set from current position.
Ping-pong slew cycle between limits, all actuators or selected actuator.
Specify position count and settings in single-turn or virtual multi-turn mode. Multi-turn also facilitates limits > 360 degrees.
User home offset.
Set speed and ramp for slew functions.
Select motor control via serial commands or step/direction.
View streaming motor position and coils temperature.
Enable / disable motor.
Enable mover and hub terminators for RS485 bus.
Set position error for fault shutdown.
Restore factory default settings.
Save settings to non-volatile flash memory.
Calibrate motor servo loop to payload ( 1 to 4 sliders, depending on load ).

Hig-Hub node joystick control (each of 8 joystick inputs):

8 analog inputs can be assigned to any mover. Four of the inputs can be assigned as gain pots for other joystick inputs.
Inputs can be enabled or disabled.
Direction can be inverted.
Inputs can be set for uni-directional operation.
Inputs can have a log response for more intuitive accelerations.
Adjustable speed sensitivity.
Null button for soft-centering a joystick.
Adjustable deadband around center of joystick.
Adjustable smoothing to filter out hand-jitters.
Assign the 4 general-purpose inputs and 4 general-purpose outputs to various functions.
Invert GPIs and GPOs.
Set edge or level control for certain GPI functions.

Scripty sequencing tool (desktop app only)

Create mover programs for sequencing, timing, and interacting with GPIs or mover events.
Movers may be controlled individually or in groups.
No need to memorize a scripting language– program lines are entered using simple pull-down menus.
Your program can run from your pc, or be downloaded into a Hig-Hub for standalone operation.
