We are excited to announce the release of VS MoDK version 1.16, which brings a range of new features and improvements to the Motion Control Development Kit (MoDK)
Improvements in this release include:
API Kit Enhancements
In this release, we have separated the API kit into dedicated parts for common, drive, and simulation functionalities.
G-Code Parser Support VS MoDK 1.16 introduces support for G-code parsing, which enables utilizing G-code files as input for the KMC_FbMovePath function. This simplifies the integration of G-code based motion paths into user applications.
New Function Block: MC_GroupSetPosition We have implemented a new function block, MC_GroupSetPosition, which allows developers to set the position of a group of axes simultaneously.
Compatibility with VS EtherCAT Master 2.x VS MoDK 1.16 now supports VS EtherCAT Master 2.x, ensuring compatibility with the latest version of our EtherCAT Master software.
Bug Fixes This release addresses several known issues:
Resolved an error that occurred when using MC_MoveContinuousAbsolute with the 'BlendingNext' buffer mode.
Fixed a synchronization error that manifested after master or slave axes movement in KMC_FbCamIn.
