In addition, the uploading and downloading of MCD files (with MiniCAD Design Files) has been simplified. And Automation1 now supports gantry mode for XI4 and iXI4 drives with absolute encoders, as well as a device catalog and machine setup for linear gantry.

Also 3-axis PSO with the GL4 module with IFOV (Infinite Field of View) and BiSS absolute encoders are now supported. This increases throughput, improves positioning accuracy and eliminates seam errors, so-called stitching. With the machine apps, users can now access a module container and thus place multiple modules in a separate area of a machine app.
