Before you start your work with the controller AIONTM 2D we strongly recommend to read the
manual carefully.
Please note that using the controller in a manner inconsistent with the instructions, any
unauthorized repair attempts or any kind of modication of the device can cause a damage
the manufacturer is not responsible for.

2.Basic functions of the AIONTM 2D controller
2.1. Live mode
• accurate and intuitive control thanks to precise joystick
• smooth change of maximum speed (1-100% of the motor’s top speed)
• precise control of soft start / stop (from 0.1 to 5 seconds)
• quick reverse of the movement direction of any axis (by one click)
• greater precision of control thanks to the ability to change joystick characteristics (LIN <-> LOG)
• separate disable for every axis
2.2. Record / playback
• 3 banks of non-volatile memory for motion recording and playing back
• playback always starts from the same point (exactly where the recording has begun)
• smooth control over the playback speed (by SPEED knob of the X axis)
• ability to loop playback
Joystick and the knobs are located on
the front panel of the controller. Electric
connectors sockets and the power switch
are located on the top wall of the controller
housing.

2.3. Calibration and settings
• easy and fast calibration (setting range of the movement) of every axis
• memory of a user settings (reverse of the movement direction of any axis, joystick characteristics) and saved
trajectories
2.4. Controlling the motion
Precision and ergonomics of the controlling device is provided by analog joystick. Deection of it’s stick
dynamically changes the speed of the head’s rotation. There are two modes to choose: LIN (joystick’s position
translates linearly to the speed of the rotation) and LOG (this mode gives more precise control in low rotation’s
speed).
SPEED knobs allows to change the top speed of a particular axis. Turning the knob clockwise increases the
speed, that corresponds to the extreme position of the joystick. Turning the knob counter-clockwise lowers the
speed and eventually turns the axis off (INVERT key backlight will turn off).
RAMP knobs allows to change soft start and stop of a particular axis. Turning the knob clockwise will increase
the time of uid acceleration. Smooth deceleration occurs when the joystick returns to center (neutral) position.
PLEASE NOTE: If the joystick is pushed rapidly in opposite direction, the head will stop immediately (without
smooth deceleration) and will start to rotate in the opposite direction.
INVERT switches allows to:
• change direction of a particular axis (by one click)
• change joystick’s characteristics (LIN<->LOG) of a particular axis - by holding the key (>0.7s). Backlight
color indicates chosen characteristics (LIN - green, LOG - red).
2.5. Record and playback
AION 2D controller has 3 banks of non-volatile memory (recorded motion is saved even if the controller is turned
off and power supply is disconnected). In every bank there can be recorded one trajectory. Maximum duration of
the recording is 200s for MEM 1 and 100s for MEM 2 and MEM 3.
2.5.1. Record
To start recording, hold chosen MEM key (backlight of the button will start ashing). Use controler as normal.
Motion will be recorded. You can use SPEED and DAMPING knobs the same way, as in Live mode. To stop
recording, press MEM key. Recording will stop automatically when it reaches time limit.
2.5.2. Playback
To play back recorded movement trajectory press corresponding MEM key (the backlight of the button will turn
on). To stop playing back press MEM key once again.
During playing back you can adjust the speed of the motion with the SPEED knob of the Xaxis.
To enable LOOP mode (playing back in loop) start playback by pressing MEM key twice (“double-click”).

2.5.3. Going to the start position
Playback always starts from exactly the same position, from which record has been started. The head has to
reach this point before playing back recorded trajectory. During this motion INVERT key is ashing. By using
DAMPING knobs before playing back, you can ease reaching the starting point and reduce unwanted vibrations.
Speed and acceleration of the head’s return to the start position can be controlled by SPEED and DAMP knobs.
3. Callibration
AION 2D has a calibration feature - memory of extreme positions, that will never be exceeded. This prevents
breaking off cables or damaging the camera.
Each axis is calibrated separately.
To calibrate particular axis, press and hold (>5s) its INVERT button. Backlight of the INVERT button will start
ashing red and green, in the same time backlight of the MEM 1 button will start ashing.
Go to the rst extreme position of the axis, that is being calibrated and press MEM 1 to save it. Backlight of
MEM 1 button will turn off, the MEM 3 button will start ashing. Set the head in second extreme positon and press
the MEM 3 to save it. The calibration of the rst axis is nished. If necessary, repeat above steps for second axis.
BULL HEAD will store calibration in it’s memory, even if the power supply is disconnected. If the working
conditions haven’t been changed, the head is ready to work immediately after turning it on.
