- New: Support for tiles with a side length of 160 mm and/or 320 mm
- New: Additional option for the MoveOnTrack command (“GapMode”)
- New: “MoverHardwareOid” property and “GetTrackTrailInformation” method of the MC_PlanarMover in the PLC
From version V3.3.19:
- New: Timeouts for the state transitions (Enabling, Disabling, Resetting) of the Planar State Machine for Planar movers and Planar parts
- New: A large part of the initial parameters of the Planar mover can be changed in the Enabled state (previously only in Disabled)
From version V3.2.60:
- New: The surface that the movers travel on is divided into Planar parts that can be moved during runtime. Movers can cross boundaries between connected or adjacent Planar parts.
- Requires TwinCAT V3.1.4024.40 or higher
From version V3.1.10.63:
- Requires TwinCAT V3.1.4024.24 or higher
From version V3.1.10.51:
- New: AdoptTrackOrientation rotates the mover on the track to align it with the track orientation. This changes the C coordinate mode from independent to dependent.

- New: CRotation command mode (360° rotation) with modulo positioning
- New: Constraints as a new variant to limit the dynamics of the motion commands
- Advanced: Parameters for modulo positioning on “Closed Loop” tracks
From version V3.1.10.11:
- First version of Planar Motion released
