The Software tools communicate using Ethernet, CTNet, Serial or USB connections. Ethernet allows the software tools to easily use the internet infrastructure allowing Control Techniques drives to be accessed remotely, from virtually anywhere around the world.

CTSoft

CTSoft is a configuration tool for commissioning, optimising and monitoring Control Techniques drives. It allows you to:

• Easily configure the drive using wizards
• Read, save and load drive configuration settings
• Manage the drive's smartcard data
• Visualise and modify the configuration with live animated diagrams

CTSoft is free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.

Index Motion Controller

Digitax ST - index motion controller is programmed within CTSoft using industry standard Sequential Function Chart (SFC) language. The user can quickly configure a range of motion commands such as homing and various index moves. The focus is on reducing development time and ease of use.

The status of the program can be monitored and the speed of the motion reduced for commissioning and testing purposes:

CTScope

CTScope is a full featured software oscilloscope for viewing and analysing changing values within the drive.  The time base can be set to give high speed capture for tuning or intermittent capture for longer term trends.  The interface is based on a traditional oscilloscope, making it familiar to engineers across the globe.

CTScope is free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.

 

SyPTLite

SyPTLite is an easy to use ladder logic program editor, suitable for simple drive applications. SyPTLite is ideal for controlling basic logic and sequencing with Commander SK and Unidrive SP onboard PLC and with SM-Applications Lite option module.

SyPTLite is free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.

 

SyPTPro

SyPTPro is a full featured automation development environment that can be used for creating solutions to single or multiple drive applications.  The programming environment fully supports three industry standard programming languages: Function Block, Ladder and Structured Text. Motion is configured using PLCopen function blocks that support a master and slave axis configuration.

SyPTPro is also used to configure CTNet - a high speed drive-to-drive network links together multiple drives, SCADA, operator panels and I/O to form an intelligent networked system.

PowerTools Pro

Developing motion applications with PowerTools Pro is a simple “five step, top-down process”. The five steps are displayed within an explorer bar that allows easy intuitive navigation. Each step is configured using simple check boxes, drop down selections and drag and drop functionality. The five steps are:

• Hardware Configuration
• Drive Setup
• I/O Setup
• Motion
• Programs

A “BASIC”-like programming language enables users to develop more complex applications and sequencing with functions being selected by dragging and dropping onto the work area.

PowerTools Pro is free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.

CTOPCServer

CTOPCServer is an OPC compliant server that allows PCs to communicate with Control Techniques drives. The server supports communication using Ethernet, CTNet, Serial RS485 and USB. OPC is a standard interface on SCADA packages and is widely supported within Microsoft products. The server is supplied free of charge and can be obtained by clicking the download tab on this page.
