1.2 MOTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The motion actuation system used in Cycraft is a very unique, high tech system that
distinguishes Cycraft from other simulator products. The motion system has the
following special features:
lFully electric motion system: The actuators are fully Electrical (no hydraulics),
making it superior in terms of maintainability and transportability.
lPatented “inverted” configuration (virtual 5 DOF system): The motion
actuators are configured such that pitch and roll rotational motions have their center of
rotations above the passenger. This patented technology enables the simulator to
produce the effects of a 5 X DOF (degrees of freedom) motion system although it has
only 3 DOF mechanically. Therefore, fast and accurate motion cueing is made
possible without increasing costs.

Page 10
3 DOF Motion Systems
The heave actuator produces up/down heave motion by rocking the rocker arm, which
holds the passenger cabin. The two suspended actuators on the rocker arm
assembly produce the relative pitch and roll motions
Separate controllers inside the MSCU control each of the linear actuators. The
controllers are in turn connected to the motion controller board, which generates the
commands for each actuator via high-speed industrial Control Area Network (CAN)
cable.
During the game, the game computer regularly sends the attitude data and other
dynamic properties data in real time to the motion control computer. The motion
board then calculates in real time, the motion necessary to give the passenger the
best feeling of reality and converts this motion to commands for the motion controllers
and actuators.

1.3 SAFETY SYSTEM FEATURES
Operators of Cycraft should familiarize themselves with the safety features of Cycraft
to ensure that they are functioning properly for safe and proper operation. Cycraft
incorporates a number of safety features to ensure that accidents and injury will not be
caused to passengers and on-lookers due to the motion of the simulator. Following
is a description of each safety feature.
lFence: A sturdy metal fence with an entrance door is provided with Cycraft. It will
ensure that on-lookers and waiting players will be kept a safe distance from the moving
cabin. The fence will also prevent on-lookers from approaching too closely and
unnecessarily tripping the photo sensors during play. Warning signs and regulation
signs are attached to the fence and door to inform customers and on-lookers.
lSide Photo Sensor: Two photo sensors attached on either side of the outer frame
of Cycraft cause the motion to stop if any obstacle obstructs the line between the
sensor and the reflective plate during play. Therefore, even if people enter the fence
and approach Cycraft when it is moving, safety is ensured since the photo sensor will
be tripped and motion stopped. Motion resumes 3 seconds after the obstacle is
removed.
lFloor Sensor: The floor plate beneath the cabin (seat) is a pressure sensor, which
activates when stepped on. It is guaranteed to detect pressures above 20 kg.
Activation of the floor sensor will stop the Cycraft motion as with the photo sensors
described above. Motion will re-activate 3 seconds after the pressure is removed.
The floor sensor guarantees safety even in the case when people somehow approach
Cycraft without tripping the photo sensor and also in the case when the passenger falls
from the cabin during play for any reason.
lSeat Belt Sensor: The seat belt buckle in Cycraft is equipped with a sensor that
detects when the seat belt is fastened or not. Cycraft will not start the game unless
the seat belt is fastened properly. Also, if the seat belt is unfastened during the game,
the motion will stop until it is re-fastened.
lGame Stop Button: This button, located inside the cabin allows the player to stop
the game anytime during play. Pressing this button will terminate the game and lower
the cabin to the initial position.
lMotion Stop Switch: The motion stop button located behind the coin chute case
stops the motion when pressed. Motion restarts 3 seconds after the button is
released. This button can be pressed by outside on-lookers or by the operator in

Page 13
case the photo or floor sensors cannot be activated or the motion must be stopped for
safety reasons.
lPower Cutoff Switch: This button located inside the operator panel but accessible
through a sliding door on the operator panel cover shuts off the main power to the
system. Pressing this switch will stop the ongoing motion of the system but will not
stop and hold the position of the cabin as with the other buttons and safety features.
Instead, the cabin will slowly pitch forward (nose down) and glide down to its lowest
position due to its own weight. Therefore, this switch should NOT be pressed
when the motion needs to be stopped. This switch should only be used in the rare
emergency case when power must be cut off such as when a fire is ignited.
NEVER press the power cutoff switch when there is a person or obstacle
UNDER the cabin. The cabin will glide down after the switch is pressed and
can cause serious injury to anybody under the cabin.
lSafety Link (page 29) and Safety Oriented Mechanical Design: The safety link
located on the rear part of the rocker arm functions to prevent a free fall of the cabin in
case the heave actuator is broken off from the rocker arm. The two rocker arm
bearings and center shaft of the rocker arm is designed such that even if one of the
bearings comes loose, the shaft will be held up by the frame to prevent a fall. The
cabin is suspended by three universal joints (central joint and two joints connecting to
the actuators). Therefore, even if one of the joints fail, the other two will support the
cabin to prevent a complete free fall.
lOther Safety Features: Cycraft is equipped with Brake Boards to supply step down
voltages to critical motor controller circuits, in case of power outages so that the cabin
(seat) does not fall abruptly. At power outages (and also when the power cutoff switch
is pressed) the motor control circuits with brake boards will make sure that the
simulator will shutdown and rest softly.
lSafe Inherent Design: The basic configuration of the inverted motion system allows
for the cabin to be suspended much lower from the ground than conventional motion
simulators. Also, it is dynamically much more stable by making it very difficult to tip
the cabin over to it’s side. Thus, the Cycraft structural design is inherently much safer
than conventional motion simulators.

2.2 GENERAL RECEIVING INSPECTION
Only QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL should carry out inspection.
All Simuline products are manufactured so that operation is possible immediately after the
proper installation. However, it can be possible that an irregular situation occurs during
transport and delivery to prevent this. To verify that transport and delivery has be carried
out without irregularity, a proper general receiving inspection should be made as follows:
lAre then any dented parts or defects (cuts, etc.) on the external surfaces of the
product?
lAre castors and leg adjusters present and undamaged?
lDo the power supply voltage and frequency requirements match with the local supply?
lAre all wiring connectors correctly and securely connected? Unless connected in the
correct direction, connector connections cannot be made successfully. Do not insert
connectors forcibly.
lAre all IC’s of each IC board firmly inserted?
lDoes the power cord have any cuts or dents?
lDo fuses meet the specified rating?
lAre such units such as monitors, control equipment, IC boards, etc. firmly secured?
lAre all earth wires connected?
lAre all accessories available?
lCan all doors and lids be opened with the accessory keys and/or tools?
