Host Interface Software
Real-Time Communication Between Host Simulation and Motion/Control Loader Systems
Servos & Simulation Host Interface Software provides a reliable communication layer between a customer-provided host simulation system and the motion base or control loader computer. Using UDP Ethernet communication, the software sends and receives real-time data packets, translating simulation inputs into precise motion platform behavior.
What Is Host Interface Software?
Host Interface Software is a communication and translation system that connects a host simulator computer to a motion base control system.
It handles:
- Data transmission between systems
- Signal interpretation
- Translation of simulation data into motion commands
This allows the system to respond accurately to the simulation environment in real time.
Core Functionality
UDP Ethernet Communication
- Real-time data exchange over UDP protocol
- High-speed, low-latency communication
- Reliable connection between host and motion or control loader systems
Data Translation
- Converts incoming simulation data into motion or loader commands
- Enables accurate and responsive platform movement
- Supports coordinated multi-axis motion systems
Data Packet Transmission
- Sends and receives structured data packets
- Processes simulation output signals
- Maintains synchronized communication between systems
System Integration
- Interfaces with customer-provided host computers and simulation software
- Designed to work with a wide range of simulation environments
- Flexible integration into existing system architectures
This is the UI for the computer.
These are the variable available for the system. Some are modifiable.
This is the data variables sent to the Host.

FAQ
Host Interface Software provides the communication link between a customer-provided host simulation computer and the motion base/control loader control computer, enabling real-time data exchange.
The software sends and receives data packets over a UDP Ethernet connection, translating simulation data from the host computer into commands that drive the motion platform/control loader.
Host Interface Software uses UDP Ethernet communication, providing fast, low-latency data transfer between the host simulation system and the motion control system/control loader.
No. The host computer and simulation software are supplied by the customer. Host Interface Software serves as the communication interface between the customer's simulation environment and the motion platform/control loader. We do have a generic Host platform for testing at an additional cost.
Yes. The software is designed to integrate with a variety of customer-provided simulation platforms and custom simulation environments that support UDP communication.
The software receives data from the host system, interprets the information, and translates it into commands that the motion base/control loader control computer uses to move the platform. In the control loader control computer, the math model for the aircraft also resides.
Yes. Host Interface Software can be integrated into new or existing simulation systems, provided the host system can communicate using the required data protocol.
Without an interface layer, the motion platform/control loader cannot properly interpret simulation data. Host Interface Software ensures accurate communication between systems, allowing motion to correspond with the simulation in real time.
Our software is designed specifically for motion simulation/control loader systems, providing reliable communication, accurate data translation, and seamless integration between simulation software and motion platform hardware.
