Introduction

The GOcontroll Moduline Mini automates rotating vehicle displays with angle-based lighting, motion, and visual effects for exhibitions and showrooms.

Smart Rotating Vehicle Display Control

Precision Motion Control for Automotive Displays

Showcasing a vehicle at its best requires more than static lighting — it needs motion, timing, and flair. The GOcontroll Moduline Mini delivers intelligent automation for Rotating Vehicle Display Control, synchronizing platform rotation with lighting and visual effects. Using a compact, modular design and real-time feedback, it enables perfectly timed scenes where every turn, highlight, and spotlight is precisely aligned with the vehicle’s position.

Application Overview: Dynamic Vehicle Presentation

In modern showrooms, trade fairs, or museums, rotating platforms are essential for capturing attention and revealing every design detail. The Moduline Mini turns a basic turntable into a fully interactive, programmable display system.

Typical control functions include:

  • Motor speed and acceleration management for smooth, quiet rotation.

  • Position tracking via encoder or magnetic angle sensors.

  • Angle-based lighting cues that activate at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°.

  • Synchronization of spotlights, RGB strips, and signage as the vehicle rotates.

  • Timed sequences for light shows, branding displays, or product reveals.

By linking position feedback with lighting effects, the system creates a professional, cinematic rotation — perfect for automotive launches, exhibitions, or retail environments.

Hardware Setup: Compact Control with Modular I/O

The GOcontroll Moduline Mini is ideal for compact motion applications where precise feedback and multiple output types are needed. Its modular I/O design allows flexible configuration for various display mechanisms.

Typical setup includes:

  • Motor control using PWM or relay outputs to drive the platform motor.

  • Angle or encoder inputs via the 6-channel input module for accurate position tracking.

  • Lighting control through digital outputs for spotlights, RGB drivers, or strobes.

  • Sensor integration (limit switches, current sensors, temperature probes) for safety and reliability.

The controller’s robust aluminum housing ensures stable operation in public exhibition environments, while its compact footprint allows discreet installation inside display bases or cabinets.

Software and Control Logic: Visual Configuration with Node-RED

With Node-RED, users can easily create a custom control dashboard accessible via smartphone, tablet, or PC. This interface provides intuitive control over every aspect of the rotating display:

  • Start/Stop control of the rotation.

  • Speed and acceleration settings for smooth motion profiles.

  • Scene selection to trigger predefined lighting and rotation patterns.

  • Live diagnostics showing angle, motor current, and system status.

Node-RED logic blocks also handle angle-based events, such as:

  • Activating spotlights at 0°.

  • Switching color themes at 90° or 270°.

  • Triggering strobes or signage at 180°.

This combination of visual programming and real-time control makes setup and adjustment effortless — ideal for event technicians and designers who need flexibility without coding complexity.

Communication and Integration: Connected and Scalable

The Moduline Mini supports Ethernet, CAN, and Modbus communication, enabling integration into larger exhibition or building-automation networks.

Possible integrations include:

  • Coordinated shows across multiple display platforms.

  • Synchronization with audio or video systems via network triggers.

  • Remote supervision and performance logging through a facility dashboard.

These features allow exhibitions to run fully automated sequences or enable remote monitoring from a control room, ensuring perfect synchronization during events or long-term installations.

Professional Control for Stunning Automotive Displays

The GOcontroll Moduline Mini transforms a simple rotating vehicle stand into a smart, fully automated showcase tool. Its precise motion control, angle-based effects, and connected dashboard make it ideal for car dealerships, motorcycle exhibitions, and trade-show presentations.

With industrial reliability and user-friendly software, it bridges engineering precision and creative design — ensuring every rotation captures attention and every spotlight hits at the perfect angle.
