Architecture Overview

1. The Architecture Overview page offers a project level design and definition. A larger workspace provide a quick
access to Motion Analyzer links (Products, Library, Tools, and Support) and project pages (Architecture
Overview, Preferences, Power Analysis, and Bill of Materials). Let’s take a moment to examine the information
contained in the various tabs.

Architecture Overview is the first page to appear when you open an existing project. On this page, you have a global header
for access to Motion Analyzer links; axis level controls to select, add, duplicate, and delete one or multiple axes; project
level elements; and axes nested functionality containing axis related components and functionality.
The labeling machine project contains four axes. Each axis is identified by a name that defines its functions. Naming can
help distinguish multiple axes, allows quicker navigation, and provides a clear overview.

10 of 30
2. Architecture Overview presents all axes related to the Labeling Machine project. A couple of features are worth
noticing here. Keeping in mind that this project was shared with you, you are given Read Only permission, which
also prevents you from Duplicating axis/es, or Deleting axis/es. These options would be enabled when you have
Read/Write permission or if you were the project owner.

3. You can review the motion type of each axis in your project by selecting the View Details dropdown. In this
image, we have selected to view details of the Sponge wheel axis.

4. For each axis in your architecture, you can (1) add comments, (2) share the axis with any valid Motion Analyzer account, or
(3) add the axis to your library for future use.

11 of 30
5. The project level elements along the right side of the Architecture Overview page allow for users to take snapshot of the
current state of the project; share the entire project with other Motion Analyzer users; add comments to the project; edit a
shared project; and restore from a previous project state.

12 of 30
Preferences Tab

1. Click on the Preferences tab from the Architecture Overview page.

2. The Preferences page provides access to Customer Information (client, contact person with email and phone number), Site
data (altitude and temperature), and Use (industry and application). Users can enter this information at any point of the
project.

3. The performance of individual components of your axis can be affected by the information entered in the site section. The
Altitude describes the elevation relative to sea level of the application environment while the ambient temperate dictates the
temperature of the application environment.

NOTE: We recommend entering the Site information before editing axis components as the altitude and
temperature information are crucial in axis performance calculations.

4. The Industry and Application tabs allow users to add information as filters to search for industry or application related
projects from their Motion Analyzer project library.

13 of 30
Power Analysis Tab

1. Click on the Power Analysis tab.

2. Power Analysis analyzes the drive module activity in terms of bus voltage and system current, and provides
regeneration and motoring data for each axis.

3. You can also simulate changes to the system performance when axes share a DC bus by selecting Auto Configure. Both
the drive module, capacitor module, and shunt module have automatic and manual selection options. You can scroll the
Selected Shared DC Bus Detail to see shunt and capacitor information.

Exporting a Bill of Material (BOM)

1. While you are on the BOM page, click on View by Type.

2. Viewing by type is an option for viewing axis components by type (drives, motor, and gearbox) instead of by axis
(axis 1 components, axis 2 components, etc…).

3. Click on Export BOM to export the Bill of Materials for this application.

4. You can select to open the file or you can close and open the productList file on your desktop to review the
products listed on the excel file. This file can be used as an import to Proposal Works for pricing. Click the
Cancel button in the dialog box that appears.
