AH Motion Controller – Operation Manual
3-2
Before developing an AH Motion system, you need to install ISPSoft and COMMGR, which are basic software. ISPSoft is
a platform for integrating the program development of a whole system, hardware configuration, and network configuration.
COMMGR functions as middleware between a computer and devices. For example, it functions as a communication
management interface between ISPSoft and AH Motion system hardware.
