About This Manual


What is the CK-InoDrive API?:

Cardinal Kinetic’s InoDrive is an innovative, networked, all-in-one integrated motion system package built for modern engineers who require highly reliable, accurate, and precise control of brushless DC motors. It combines all the capabilities of a servo amplifier, motion controller, and fully functional logic engine, into a single, flexible, and powerful control unit.
InoDrive is powered by InoWorx, our powerful web IDE platform, providing a code-free approach with all the critical design elements to solve the most demanding motion applications. InoWorx is unique in that it provides API’s and pre-engineered routines for PC and SBC driven applications, while also supporting legacy communication protocols for the more traditional control architectures of the past.

Why would I need an API to work with InoDrive if I have InoWorx?:

You may or may not choose to utilize the API, it is an additional accessory providing another form of control which will be valuable in many circumstances. CK-InoDrive-API is meant to help you interact with variables, files, and other data being utilized by your program as it works across the InoWorx/InoDrive landscape. Document your values in files on your computer, read specific files, get configuration information and more with our API.

Features:

Create a connection between the InoDrive module and your application to:

  • Get connection information from the drive as it works
  • Read/Write module configuration information
  • Poll the drive for variable information
  • Read/Write variable information
  • And more
