Connect mouse, keyboard, displayer, bus servo of EtherCAT and industrial camera to XPLC516E Linux motion controller.

Qt project developed by PC can be connected to controller through net port, then, Qt program can be run on PC directly, or be downloaded into controller.

At the same time, ZMotion Technology Linux controller XPLC516E supports connection between controller and local interface of Qt program. I mentioned before, they can directly do memory interaction, and speed is faster than PCI / PCIE, so it is recommended to use local interface to build the connection with controller.

( Please note, Qt project developed needs downloading into controller )

(1) Qt project download method

Also, there are two ways, download Qt project into controller through U disk, another, connect net port of controller to PC first, then download through WinSCP software.  When U disk is inserted, there will show U disk icon in the desktop of controller Linux os. Double click U disk icon, enter file management, then download Qt project.

Download through WinSCP software, refer to below connecting method:

In addition, project can be developed directly through Qt software that is downloaded from controller, in this way, no need to download developed project. For detailed development process, please refer to Linux_Qt development steps of PC.

(2) Replace dynamic library

Download dynamic library (zmotion.so) of ARM platform into controller, and rename the dynamic library as libzmotion.so, then replace the dynamic library that is in the Qt project developed by PC.

(3) Compile and run

At last, use Qt software that is downloaded from controller to compile the project, then, it's time to run.

XPLC516E motion controller is with Linux operating system, and it supports HMI development by Qt machine.

Qt program can use LOCAL interface to link with controller, then use direct memory interaction for fast-speed. What's more, ZMotion provides PC library function (zmotion.so), then you could do motion control programming according to ZMotion PC Library Manual, and achieve linear interpolation, any circular interpolation, space arc, helical interpolation, electronic cam, electronic gear, synchronous follow, virtual axis setting, etc.

At the same time, it supports the third party's vision, controller has camera drive.

API related to camera acquisition can be directly called according to sdk of camera drive, or be called directly by the third party's vision software.
