APPLICATIONS

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 crea-

ting 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 inclu-

ding 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, perfor-

mance, maintenance and price.

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 sys-tem. 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 con-nection between our simulation and the motion system. An advanced work-space 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.“

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 con-troller using the industry standard EtherCAT real time network technology. The digital informa-tion 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 mul-ticore 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.

• Single binary controller solution for motion, control loading & vibration application (or com-binations thereof).

• Motion cueing model with Direct Workspace Management adaptive washout (patent).• Integrates configurable special effects database (periodic, random and time based signals).• Integrates advanced control force simulation models.• Standard support for Matlab Simulink Real Time Workshop.• Controller is configurable through datafiles at product and customer level.• Host interface: user configurable, UDP Ethernet based, auto connecting.• User friendly host interface API (including C++ source code).• Detailed text based error messages in multiple languages, including values of relevant signals.• Many product support features such as: automated documentation generation, parameter

database, signal recording, signal playback, signal generators, automatic tests, logging and configurable control panels.
