Flexible Integration
Enterprise Class Connectivity For Entertainment
WiFi Show Playback
2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless radios are standard on the AX and optional on other X-Series devices. Mix and match Pro I/O™ devices with X-series controllers to expand your show using the best feature combinations from all of our controllers.
Advanced Flexibility
X-Series devices can serve as master show playback or distributed I/O modules. With 32 ‘parent,’ addresses, any X-series device can switch between local show playback and ‘listening,’ to other ProCommander® or ProCommander® X-Series devices.
Legacy Compatibility
ProCommander® X-Series devices allow for maximum compatibility for nearly every device we’ve manufactured. Use WEM-Net, Ethernet, or WiFi to build your show network. Dual Ethernet on X-series devices allow bridging between system types and generations.
CANOpen Master & RS-485
HD-IDT, Dynamixel & other common motor drives
Direct Digital Motor Connection
All Weigl X-series ProCommander® controllers include full support for direct control of over 25 motor types. Connect a variety of CANOpen, RS-485 or other motor drive types directly to an X-series controller and utilize software specific controls to your motors. Add Pro I/O™ or WEMLink modules to add additional physical I/O or EtherCAT® & PLC integrations. Homing, position, velocity and other operational commands can be handled real-time, in our traditional timeline fashion with Showforge® or Conductor software and later downloaded for stand-alone playback.
Animate high precision industrial motors with the same tools as traditional analog or digital programming methods. Compare motor positions in real-time with our unique interactive plot mode (Showforge® only) and build advanced shows with simplicity.

Visual Timeline Show Creation
Tools for MacOS & PC
Timeline
Weigl hardware can be programmed visually through one of our timeline software programs. Each offer the visualization of data, including synchronous lighting, animation, show action and control data – perfectly in-sync with audio and video playback. Regardless of the nature of physical control (digital, analog, DMX, CANOpen, sACN etc.) the timeline recording interface remains consistent. Showforge® provides advanced media and motion tools built specifically for Weigl hardware.

Build your shows using heads up real-time puppeteering or lighting console recording. Edit with non-linear tools and envelopes, or finesse with our unique interactive plot mode. Our fastest workflow yet, built from the ground up by Weigl for deep integrated support. For MacOS.
Conductor is a timeline-based show control programming and production application. It’s the perfect design for creative professionals who want to spend more time creating and less time programming. For PC.
