Motion software - PMP

All Prodrive motion controllers run on the Prodrive Motion software Platform, a real-time system built on years of motion control experience. Its standout strengths include reliable real-time performance and support for centralized, distributed, and hybrid control architectures, powered by parallel EtherCAT® buses up to 20kHz.

PMP enables deep control structure optimization, with smooth integration of custom algorithms through MATLAB Simulink code generation and C++ toolchains. Developers also benefit from a full API in C++ and C#, accessible through .NET for Python.NET and MATLAB.

To accelerate development, PMP offers a software simulator for Windows and Debian Linux, along with a powerful tool suite for integration and debugging. This includes full API support for everything from data acquisition to command queuing, all without requiring code to be written.
