2 E2M PROFESSIONAL MOTION AND CONTROL FORCE SIMULATION

4 - 2 APPLICATIONS

This experience is now combined in E2M Technologies Simulator Products. Because of this background E2M has the perfect position to understand simulator requirements in every aspect.

5 COMPANY E2M Technologies is specialised in simulation products for high quality applications. E2M is an acronym for Electric to Move. E2M Technologies engineers have a long history in producing simulator products like Motion Systems, Hardware Platforms and Control Loaders. This experience is now combined in E2M Technologies Simulator Products. Because of this background E2M has the perfect position to understand simulator requirements in every aspect. As such, E2M is the right partner for creating products for specific simulation applications. The areas of expertise of E2M include hardware design of actuators and platforms, system design conforming to all applicable standards, state of the art software development including class leading motion cueing and extremely straight forward host interfacing. For the year 2013 E2M introduces several new motion systems. Most noticeably, our new range of high payload motion systems sets new standards with regard to simplicity, performance, maintenance and price.

19 CUSTOMER QUOTES CAE can recommend E2M s motion systems due to their high quality of both the hardware and software. In addition, their customer service is best in class. E2M s software is one of the best motion software we have worked with. The emulator enabled us to begin testing weeks before receiving the system. Within a few hours of installation, the motion system was integrated and operational. Such a milestone is unheard of with other motion system suppliers. The software of all E2M systems is identical. The software is very easy and therefore quick to interface. A clear API is available to help make the connection between our simulation and the motion system. An advanced workspace management feature in the software leads to realistic motion cues, the best we had so far from any other vendors. We have had a very positive experience with E2M Technologies during the development of the em6-rot-1000 motion system for our simulator. They are a professional company with highly knowledgeable and dedicated staff. Both the project managers and engineering staff were always available to discuss the challenges. Considering the extremely aggressive schedule, E2M was able to deliver a high quality yet cost effective product.

The digital information on this network is fully integrated into the controller code resulting in excellent diagnostics capabilities.

22 SOFTWARE E2M uses a single turn-key software and hardware controller solution for all motion and control loading systems. The servo drives and peripheral hardware are interfaced with the real time controller using the industry standard EtherCAT real time network technology. The digital information on this network is fully integrated into the controller code resulting in excellent diagnostics capabilities. The real time operating system cooperates with Microsoft Windows on one multicore CPU. This means easy accessibility of the data files via the network and Windows based remote diagnostics and support. At the same time hard real time performance is maintained. Alternatively, a Linux based solution can be supplied.
