WEIGL CONTROL / DIGITAL MOTOR LIBRARY
Make every
movement mean something.
From the timeline.
To the motor. And back.
Bring precise motion into the same environment as your lighting, audio and show logic. Connect supported digital drives directly to Weigl control hardware.
ENTERTAINMENT ELECTRIC ACTUATION
Your motion.
The right connection.
Choose the interface that fits your motor and controller. Digital connections can carry position commands and return supported drive information through the same system.
RS-485
Connect compatible serial motor drives, including supported ROBOTIS / Dynamixel models.
DIGITAL MOTOR CONTROLCANopen
Bring compatible industrial motor drives into timeline programming and standalone show playback.
POSITION + SUPPORTED FEEDBACKPWM & analog
Control hobby-style servos or connect an analog drive input using appropriate Weigl hardware.
MATCH THE ELECTRICAL INTERFACEEtherCAT®
Bridge show motion and variables into a PLC environment through WEMLink™.
INDUSTRIAL INTEGRATIONCONFIGURE. CREATE. PLAY.
A familiar workflow.
Powerful motion.
- Configure your hardware
Select a supported motor type, assign the motor ID and set the working range in Configurator.
- Create the movement
Build and record motion in Showforge® or Conductor. Map motor positions into the Weigl control environment.
- Take the show standalone
Transfer your show to a compatible ProCommander® for playback, with commands and logic for your installation.
THE DIGITAL MOTOR LIBRARY

A listed manufacturer does not imply support for every product. Homing, feedback, drive parameters and operating modes depend on the exact motor, drive, firmware and Weigl hardware. Showforge interactive plot mode is exclusive to Showforge.
MORE THAN A POSITION COMMAND
Motion you can see.
Information you can use.
Supported drives can report position, status and other parameters to Configurator, WEM | Script™ logic or upstream control systems.
Use the available feedback to understand what the motor is doing alongside the rest of your show.
Explore WEM | Script™ ↗PLC & INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Connect the show
to the bigger system.
WEMLink™ connects Weigl motion data and variables with EtherCAT® systems, bringing timeline content into industrial control architectures.
Use a ProCommander® as a playback controller or as a smart I/O device receiving position commands from a third-party system.
Explore Pro I/O™ & WEMLink™ ↗WEMLINK / ETHERCAT
Show motion.
Industrial communication.
WEMLink operates as an EtherCAT slave and requires an EtherCAT master. Confirm the PLC, master and application requirements with Weigl.

Less searching.
More moving.
Go straight to the existing motor setup guides. The ROBOTIS / Dynamixel quick starts include separate macOS and Windows workflows.
These links open the existing SharePoint and Dropbox resources. Some resources may require sign-in.
ONE CONTROL ENVIRONMENT
Motion belongs
in the show.
Program movement in context with audio, lighting and media. Record live, refine on the timeline and keep your motion connected to the creative process.
