Motion4Sim License Upgrade – From Basic to High-End

Your Motion4Sim Controller is built on a high-performance STM32 platform designed to grow with your simulator. While every board features the same premium hardware components, the firmware license determines which advanced features are active.

This upgrade allows you to transition your rig from a standard Step/Dir setup to a high-speed Ethernet or EtherCAT-driven motion platform.

Choose Your Upgrade Path:

1. Upgrade to PRO – The Connectivity Standard Target: Users moving from USB to a more robust Network/Wind setup.

Native Ethernet (LAN): High-speed, interference-free communication with your PC.
Dual-Channel Wind System: Drive two independent 12V PWM fans directly from the board for immersive directional wind simulation.
Analog 0–10V Output: Specifically for torque signal support (Servo 7).

2. Upgrade to PRO-PLUS – The EtherCAT Powerhouse Target: High-end builders utilizing modern industrial drive protocols.

EtherCAT Master Mode: Direct support for EtherCAT drives (act. only StepperOnline A6 EC Series). Reduced cabling, higher precision.
Dual Ethernet Architecture: Uses the secondary onboard W5500 SPI module to separate EtherCAT bus traffic from PC telemetry.
Note : a wiz850io module needs to be soldered for the 2nd Lan port if not present (comes only when ordered Pro+ with the controller)
High Axis Count: Designed for complex rigs (up to 7 Step/Dir or 12+ EtherCAT axes planned).

Important Information

License Check: Please note that PRO and PRO-PLUS licenses require a brief internet connection approximately every 20 days for a license validation check.
How to order: During checkout, please provide your Unique Controller ID (found in your Dashboard/Configurator) to ensure the license is assigned to the correct hardware.

Why Choose Motion4Sim?

If you’re building a motion simulation platform, the Motion4Sim Servo Motion Controller is your ideal solution.
Designed for cost-effective AASD servo motors, this controller maximizes their performance for motion simulation applications.
It also supports other motor drivers operating in Step/Dir mode, including NEMA 17, 23, and 34 stepper motors with digital drivers, as well as servo systems such as YMPC AASD, Delta B2, and Lichuan LCDA4.

Note:
When choosing the EtherCAT version, the higher controller cost can often be offset by using high-performance yet cost-efficient
StepperOnline EtherCAT motors, which typically offer a price advantage compared to traditional AASD servo systems.
These motors have been tested and confirmed to work reliably.

The M4S-AASD15A controller ensures fast and seamless transmission of motion data from PC simulation software to servo motors.
Data is exchanged via interface software such as SimTools, FlyPT Mover, Motion4Sim Dashboard, SimHub and DRSM,
ensuring precise and smooth operation.

How It Works

Interface software calculates motion vectors and transmits values via USB or Ethernet to the Motion4Sim controller.
The controller drives the servo motors and performs real-time calculations for smoothing and refining motion cues.
Servo motor amplifiers connect via DB25 cables (AASD pinout compatible), or via simple Ethernet patch cables when using EtherCAT.
