Type 4 - External custom controller
Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

SAMLight supports an interface for a customized implementation of a motion controller *.dll. A sample package is available on our homepage (http:\\www.scaps.com) or on request. The name of the external motion controller is sc_motion_control_ext_<DN>.dll where <DN> corresponds to the defined controller name in sc_motion_settings.txt. The *.dll has to be located in the same directory as sam_light.exe or in C:\Windows\System32\

Motion controller type: The external custom controller and the device name needs to be defined in the text file sc_motion_settings.txt. This file can be found in the folder <SCAPS>\system\.

Type=4 Sets the type of the motion controller to the external custom controller.

DeviceName=<DN> Specifies the name of the device, which determines the name of the *.dll that is loaded during runtime to access the motion controller functionality (see above).
