NI Serial Port / Eurotherm Temperature Controller

NI Serial Port / Eurotherm Temperature Controller
I am using a N.I. AT 232/4 board with four additional N.I. serial ports. First of all, after installing Windows NT (before I was using Windows 98) the NI Serial Port Diagnostics Program was not able to detect any of the ports even though the ports are correctly installed within Windows. When I was still using Windows 98 the NI Serial Port Diagnostics Program was able to detect all the four ports. Is it necessary that the diagnostics program detects the ports in order to use them with Lab View? I have also two regular Serial ports, which have never been detected by the diagnostics program, but I should still be able to use them with Lab view as well? D
oes the NI Serial Port Diagnostics Program not function with Windows NT? Do you have an update version for Windows NT?
I�m trying to control a Eurotherm 2416 and 903 Temperature Controller with two serial ports. Unfortunately, Eurotherm does not give support anymore about Lab View drivers for their Controllers, since they have developed their own Automation Program (iTools) now. I still want to control the Eurotherm Controller with Lab View via the serial port. Do you still have the driver VI�s for the 2416 and 903? It would be nice if you could send me the Eurotherm divers also along with some documentation.
There is already a question posted about Eurotherm Controller (Eurotherm Temperature Controller not Functioning with NI Serial Board). It is probably a similar problem unfortunately the solution did not bring the right success. Therefore, I would like to ask you to specify the so-called 4-Wire mode.
Thank You very much for Your help!
Sincerely,
Benjamin Thoma

NI-Serial 1.45 does not install correctly on Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition. The driver (serial.sys), configuration utility (niports.cpl), and inf file (niserial.inf) are installed incorrectly to the user profiles directory.
A workaround is to copy the files to the right folders which is detailed shortly.
Definition: "%windows%" refers to the operating system folder. Note: The default operating system folder for this version of Windows is "Wtsrv".
serial.sys - %windows%\system32\drivers
niports.cpl - %windows%\system32
niserial.inf - %windows%\inf
Note: "niserial.inf" does not need to be copied unless an AT card is being used.
The above files can either be obtained from the installation CD in the WinNT folder or from the hard-disk locations that they were
incorrectly installed to which are detailed shortly. Note: Leaving the incorrectly installed files where they are will not harm the system. Definition: "%userid%" refers to the ID that was used when logging in to Windows.
serial.sys - %windows%\Profiles\%userid%\Windows\system32\drivers
niports.cpl - %windows%\Profiles\%userid%\Windows\system32
niserial.inf - %windows%\Profiles\%userid%\Windows\inf
For the newly copied driver to take effect the system must be rebooted.
As for the instrument drivers, you can search our instrument driver site to try to find them. Go to "other driver resources" at the link below.

For more information on the 4-wire mode, see chapter 6 of the "Serial Hardware and Software for Windows User Manual". I have included a link to the manual.

  • Chromalox 6040 and 6050 temperature controller with RS485

    Hi,
     I have a Chromalox heater and the Tempererature controllers (6040 and 6050).  Both controllers has the RS485 hook-up.  I would like to know how to communicate with these devices.  The devices themselves can function as an stand alone units with PID controller installed. These devices can be used with automatic or manual control.  I would like to set it on automatic and control it from Labview.  I am currenlty using the Fieldpoints modules with Labview 2009. I have several questions: 1. can I wire the RS485 2-wire connector directly to the field point module?  2.  if I need an RS 485 converter, I will use the RS485 to USB.  Would I then just use the RS232 visa? 3.  there are two connection on the controller for the RS485, I am not sure how to wire that together as twisted wire.  I have looked at the forum on the subjects and find bits and pieces of info..  I would like more directions.
    Thank you,

    Sorry, I believe I convoluted the issue here at hand.  Let me retract my earlier statement and say this.  Your FieldPoint module has the RS232 port on it, where you can write serial commands out to the device (I mentioned using Optomux earlier, while this is possible, upon second thought it is unnecessary).  You can then have the RS485 port write out to your temperature controllers.  Is this what you are trying to accomplish?  You should be able to wire the connections directly to the FieldPoint module.  Sorry for convoluting the issue earlier.  Does this answer your question more closely?  You mentioned using an RS485 to USB converter, where does that come into play?  I understood that you wanted to go from the FieldPoint RS485 port to an RS485 port onthe temperature controller?

  • Crio serial port

    Hi
    Can anybody tell me how to access serial port of crio 9024. I have to transmit data on the serial port of the controller. This transmission must be through crio serial port and not through CSeries module.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Rajeev,
    This is an old post, and I almost missed the reply, but I'll see if I can help.
    As you have experience with Hyperterminal, have you plugged the serial port of the cRIO into hyperterminal, and see if anything is actually be transmitted?
    Does the LCD have a microcontroller that interprets the serial commands?
    If so, do these commands have to have an explicity baud rate or termination character?
    Consider looking at this example as a guide for troubleshooting:
    Serial Data Transfer Between cRIO and Host
    In the future, consider making a new post, and just linking an old post.  Hopefully, someone can reply to you much sooner.

  • Eurotherm 2704 connection via serial port with ModBus

    Hello guys,
    first some words about my problem:
    I have to develop a software which allows reading and writing the
    temperature (we have 3 Eurotherm 2704) (I think some of you know this problem yet ).
    I wrote already the program and it works, but I used "iTools OPC
    Server" for my program and it was the demo version (works only 30 minutes).
    The group doesn't want to pay for the iTools, I should solve this problem without
    iTools .
    In this forum I found out, that I can use the ModBus for it:
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=468139&view=by_date_ascending&page=2
    I know, there are some similar threads here, but I am new with LabView
    and need some help.
    I downloaded one example “my modbus serial query.vi “
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=135288&view=by_date_ascending&page=2
    but it does not work (I am not really sure, what I have to change in the
    file)
    With OPC Server I found out:
    COM5
    Baud Rate 9600
    Parity: None
    Flow Control: None
    Data Bits: 8(RTU) (I can choose RTU, but where can I change to 8 bit ?! )
    And by other properties, I have no idea what I have to change there
    For Example
    Modbus Data Unit In (all read and write mode ? Which one do I need to read the temperature and to set the set temperature?)
    Modbus Command ?!!!
    No idea.
    I have folowing adresses (comms address 0x00030001, canonical address: 1)
    Which one do I need ?!
    I think if I get the signal from one temperature controller, I can do it for
    other, but my problem is now THIS one.
    Can you help me whit it ?
    Should I use a other example ?! Maybe do you know better one?
    Thank you, very much.

    Hello Putnam and Christian,
    I think the problem because you can not understand my question is my English, sorry
    I'll try it again: 
    @Christian:
    Thank you for the links, but I think all threads in NI Forum with topic "Help, Eurotherm 2704 ?" were written by me
    You understood my problem correctly.
    We have 3 temperature controllers and I have to develop a LabView program, which allows reading the temperature from the controllers. It should be possible to write the set temperature from LabView to temperature controller as well.
    The controllers are connected already (I think with RS485) and I can read/set the data from/to controllers (with “iTools OPC Server”), but I have to change my program so, that it works without “OPC Server”
    @Putnam:
    In the meantime I found out, why I got an error with  “my modbus serial query.vi” (the solution was very simple, I had to close the OPC-Server ). 
    It runs now and I try to understand now how the VI exactly works. 
    Maybe you can help me with it? 
    I try to explain what I understood, if something is wrong, tell my please: 
    The “my modbus serial query.vi” allows to read the multiple values (maximum 125 register) (default block read size is 125) from controller (I can see the data in the register array). In each register I have values for different variables. The Modbus address of Loop1 PV (I need this value) is known ( 00001, Eurotherm manual).
    Does it mean that the first element in the register-array is the value for the temperature from Loop 1 ?! (multiplicated by a factor, if it is correct, how can I find out this factor? It is linear?)
    And if I need the value of Loop2 (the address is 01025), I have to set the start address for example to 1000 and in this case the 25-th element in register-array is the value for PV Loop 2 ?! 
    I got this idea, after I left the laboratory and could not try it out. I can do it first at Monday, but I would know if it is correct what I think.
    If it is correct, I think I will able to change  “my modbus serial query.vi” on my own, that it works in my program.
    Or there is a better example/solution than “my modbus serial query.vi” ?!
    The other problem would be writing of temperature, but I will ask about it later . First temperature READING problem!!  
    Thank you!

  • Connect a PIC/MCU micro controller to serial port of phone

    Hello,
    I am relatively new to j2me programming and i would lke to ask if it's possible to connect a MCU to the serial port of the phone and receive streamng data while the MIDlet is on?
    If so how can this be done> Does it work the same way a serial connection? I connect the MCU to the USB pins then to the mobile phone.
    Does anyone who have worked with this care to share their valuable experience? Thanks in advance.

    Hi, i checked with the helpdesk from motorola and they replied that i require a license to access the proprietary interface (please refer to the reply below). I'm thinking ofusing Sony Ericsson k610i since it's JP-7. However, I wonder if they have similar issues with it.
    It seems that since we are to interfacing with a PC, the allocation of a virtual port might be a problem, that'smy main concern.
    FAQ found in motorola website:
    We'd like to connect a RS232 device to a RAZR V3 phone. From a Java API perspective this is possible via the CommAPI.
    We have succesfully tested to connect the RAZR V3 Mini-USB with a PC via a USB-cable - and we were able to transmit data from the RAZR V3 to the PC (Hyper Terminal) and vice versa.
    Which technology is needed in the RS232 device (no PC - just a stand alone RS232 device) to communicate to the RAZR V3 via the Mini-USB?
    Answer
    We do not normally support the use of non-PC RS232 connections to current Motorola handsets. The only serial connection supported is serial-over-USB, where the handset is connected to a USB port on a PC, and the PC operating system assigns a virtual COM port to the USB connection for this purpose. Microsoft Windows is normally needed to meet this requirement.
    Although RS232 functionality exists within the handsets, it is a Motorola proprietary interface only available to firms who licence the technology from us. Motorola currently licenses the CE Bus technology to selected 3rd party companies interested in building accessories for our PCS devices. Please contact Gene Eggleston ([email protected]) or telephone 847-523-4976 (USA) for information on the license and business arrangement. As a licensee you will receive a specification that details the access and use of Motorola's CE Bus.

  • "Example on reading combined signals from a serial port and separating them for display purposes". I am a beginner in Labview and would appreciate if anyone help with that

    I am working on a wireless vital sign monitor. I have 3 signals; heart rate and temperature. I filter and amplify the signals before converting them into digital form. I then pass them via MAX232 before passing them to RS232 serial cable.
    I am therefore working on a program to receive the combined signal and separate them.
    I have come across serial read and write examples on ni.com but am looking for one where I can actually separate combined signals and display them separately.

    Reading the serial port will give you a string. How you divide the channels depends on how the data was formatted before it was sent over the serial channel.
    If you are designing the instrument, as it seems from your query, then you can set up any form you wish. If your data is always floating point numeric, you could use space or tab characters to separate data words. You could use and XML format. If the instrument is provided by a vendor, contact them for the protocol.
    If tabs are used between words and returns between sets of readings, the resutlant string can be interpretted by the Spreadsheet String to Array function in LV.
    Things to avoid are characters often used by serial communications systems as control characters. Carraige returns are
    often used as command terminators by serial protocols, but may also be used by the port.

  • Urgent!!! Need help in file read/write data to a serial port

    Hi,
    I really need someone's help in order for me to complete my project. I have attached a vi which I have taken from an example and integrate to my project. In the vi, I have managed to get the encoder counts using Ni 9411. I need to read/write that data from ni9411 to ni9870 without using any serial port as they are connected to a NI 9104 chasis. May I know whether I am correct in writing the data to my ni9870 port using the vi I have attached? Does anyone know how i can convert the number of counts to a 8-bit data/byte so that I can send the data through the RS232 port? I really need someone's help as I need to finished in 2 weeks time.
    I have also attached an vi on controlling the epos2 controller using instrument driver. Does anyone know how can i integrate this vi to the fpga vi (the one which I need to read/write data to 9870) as I need to send those data to control my epos2 controller.
    Please help me!!!

    Afai,
    As I allready suggested you here, call your local NI Office and ask for assistance!
    You really need assistence in a higher level that we can provide via the forums. Otherwise I don't see a chance for you to finish your project in time.
    1. Convert I32 to U8 to write it to the 9870 could be done like this:
    2. The vi to control the epos2.
    There is NO way ( absolutely NO way) to port this vi to FPGA. It's based on VISA calls, uses an event-structure, both are not available at the FPGA.
    The only thing you could do is to analyze the VI, the instruction set and design an FPGA vi which handles the specific instructions you would need.
    I have no experience with epos2 and I'm not 100% sure if this would work as you would like to use it. And doing this needs deep knowledge of LabVIEW, VISA, Instrument Drivers, the epos hardware, FPGA programming, and so on...

  • Reading/writing to serial port w/ VISA in Labview

    I'm writing a Labview program to control and to read data from a Varian vacuum pump controller. It is connected to the serial port in my computer, and I have been trying to open a VISA session to communicate with the instrument. So far, however, the computer cannot see the instrument--I get the same error messages reading and writing to the instrument as I do to an empty serial port. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be? Thank you.

    There are a lot of possiblities. Is the cable correct? You probably need a crossover cable (TX and RX) swapped. You also need to check and make sure the serial ports on both ends are set the same (i.e. baud rate, handshaking, stop bits, etc.). Make sure that the port is enabled. I've seen people try to use a comm port only to find that a modem card installation caused the port to be disabled. You could also try using hyperterminal to talk to the instrument. If you can communicate there, you can eliminate any hardware problem.

  • Problem writing to serial port

    Hi All,
    I am very new to LabVIEW (just a couple of months). I need to communicate with a serial port of an Advanced Energy RF generator (Ovation) serial port (AE Bus)
    The manual talks about little endian conversion, CSR and checksum that I just can't make it work. does anybody know how to write and read to this serial port?
    I have used the write and read to serial port from examples with no luck and no response from the generator. I have attached the generator's manual here, the serial commands section starts at page 65 (4-25)
    Has anybody written a program to talk to Ovation RF generator? can anybody help me out and get me started? I am stuck!!!. ... appreciate your help. thanks.

    Ovation - AE RF generator.pdf ‏1444 KB

    Thanks... so I started with the basic serial write and read, enetered hex text strings into the serial write, including the checksum and what I read back is not always correct because for example I need to calculate the XOR in the program and not just eneter it as a hex value. I should also put the write and read into a loop because I will be writing and reading to serial port 2 dozen times.
    I am working with two devices, one is the generator, the other is a controller board that has a very similar serial bus structure as the generator's AE serial bus. the controller board has stepper motor drivers that move two variable capacitors. for the generator, I need to turn the power on and off and set to different power levels. for the control/stepper motor driver board: I need to read the values from a text file(attached). the text file has 3 table, table1, column1 is the number of steps that the stepper motor will move and column2 is the nominal capacitor values for C1. same thing table2; values are number of steps versus nominal cap values for C2. I need to creat a matrix such that to move the C1 to steps listed in the table, and for every step increment in C1, I need to move the C2 motor to 20 different position (listed in the table3 that has the desired percent value of total capacitance ) position and make a measurement of the impedance of the capacitors with agilant E5061 network analyzer and write the data back into the same text file at the end where it says "IMPEDANCE_REAL     in Ohm    one line per C1 position"  and into a excel sheet too while taking a measurement... and do the same thing all over again for C2 versus C1. I think  I need to use the producer consumer design pattern eventually when I get the details worked out first.
    any suggestion? .... much thanks.

  • Write to Serial Port without splitting string data

    Hi, all, thank you for your help in advance.
    Problem:
    I am trying to write to the serial port with VISA write module. Somehow the string I tried to send was splitted before it was sent. For example, if I want to send "127", it sends "7', "2", "1". I don't know if there's anyway to configure the module so that it sends out the whole string at once. I use the return count to indicate how many times it spits the data. So "127" now returns "3" (sent three times. I would like to have it to return "1" so that "127" was sent in whole).
    Project:
    I am working on an application where a DC motor is controlled by a controller talking to the PC's serial port. "127" stands for its maximum power. The controller devides the power into 128 steps. Therefore I need to input number from 0 to 127 to command the speed.
    Any help or suggestion will be appreciated!

    Thanks for the prompt replies.
    About Number/ASCII
    I am using the Atmega128-Controller Chip to read in the signals sent from the computer serial port. Then it sends signals to the motor controller. The Atmega chip reads the ASCII string and converts it to hexadecimal number, sending that number to the motor controller. I can program the Atmega chip so that it either translates the ASCII string into hex as mentioned or accepts as it is. Either way, I want it to read two byte information at once (00 to 7F).
    If the VISA serial write can send only one byte at a time, then I may have to program the chip so that it buffers the readings. I have tried using number/hex converter and number/string converter, either case, the fact that VISA Write spits one byte at a time hinders the programming. For example: I defined numbers 1 to 5 represents 20% to 100% power output with 20% increment Then I defined "10" as "90%" power, but it reads "1" "0" seperately, so the actual out put is "20%" then "0%".
    I used the example VI provided by NI : advanced serial write/read. For convenience, attached here. Not all modification I made is saved.

  • Closing a serial port after executing a for loop of write and reads.

    Hello,

    J_es--
         The program that you posted looks to be ok for the most part, you might consider putting an open after your configure (but that's trivial). The other thing that is a minor issue is the loop tunnel coming out of your for loop is currently being auto-indexed.  This function is used to index data for each interation of the loop.  You are using a static address (not an array) and so you don't need this.  If you right-click and remove the auto-index the broken wire will go away. Other than that it should be ok.
         I would suggest looking at one of the shipping examples that come with LabVIEW.  "Basic Serial Read and Write" is essentially the same thing that you are doing and is tested here and might save you a bit of time.  Anyway, take a look if you have a second. Best of luck with your application!

  • Multiple serial ports reading from a shared USB port

    I have a program that reads from 4 flow controllers, which send data through RS232 serial ports. Because the computer is located pretty far away, the vendor suggested to use an Edgeport box to convert RS232 to USB, then convert to ethernet port using a SuperBooster converter. The signal travels long distance in ethernet cable to the computer and get converted back to USB, then to the computer. In MAX, I was able to see 8 com ports from the Edgeport box, and I was able to communicate with my flow controllers.
    The problem is, it will give me some error message occasionally. Sometime it's a VISA Read error, sometime it's a VISA framing error. Could this be caused by the way the signal is transmitted?
    In the program I have four parallel WHILE loops that constantly do READ and WRITE to the 4 flow controllers. Could this be causing the errors? If so, what is the best strategy to design this program?
    Thanks

    I agree with Mike, you will need an error handling strategy that accounts for these errors.  And retries the communications.  This can be a little tricky, but very doable.  I believe some sort of statemachine approach will work best for this. 
    As for your heated probe.  I would make some sort of hardware interlock that will shut it down in case of a coolant failure.  NEVER, EVER trust the computer to be running where safety is concerned, either for personal or hardware.  There are plenty of ICs that can monitor temperature, and have warning, and alarm outputs!  Another option is some sort of watchdog on the communications bus for the coolant control, but I think this is a bit more tricky.

  • I need an instrument driver for Neocera LTC-21 Temperature Controller and am having problems sending the IDN? string to the same instrument.

    Hi,
    When I use the instrument wizard in LabVIEW 5.0, to indentify a device (Neocera LTC-21 Temperature Controller), I receieve the following error:
    Error.
    There was an error sending this string.
    VISA error code returned was:
    -1073807339
    Error -1073807339 occured at VISA Read.
    Possible reasons:
    VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Timeout expired before operation completed.
    Although, the manual for this instrument states that the response should be a string of characters in the form of "Neocera Model LTC-21 version".
    Also, I do not have a driver for this instrument, inspite of checking on the NI Instrument
    Divers Network and the company website(www.Neocera.com).
    I would truely appreciate if someone can help me.
    Thanks,
    Kunal.

    I could not find any drivers for that instrument. You may just have to make your own. As for getting the device to respond, there are a couple of things you can do. If you are using GPIB: First, you might want to just reset the device by turning it on and off. If there are other instruments on the same bus, make sure 2/3 of them have their power on. Try communicating with it through IBIC. Here is a page that will help.
    http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/max/ibic.htm
    IBIC communicates with the GPIB on a very base driver level and you set everything manually step by step, so you can see where the break down is. Also make sure you are entering the "*IDN?" and all other commands correctly. Check the device manual to see what commands it should respond to and if there ar
    e any special settings you might need. If you are doing serial communication, you may want to check to see if you need a null modem cable for it to function. There also may be a dip switch on the device that switches between serial and GPIB communication.

  • Motion Control via Serial Port

    I have previously developed an automated video microscope application in Labview. It worked great. My setup was: NI PXI system with 1409 image board, 7344 motion controller, 7764 breakout box, stepper motors, motor drivers, and tables. Now, a customer is requiring that we use a specific brand of drivers that encompass a motion controller and are daisy-chained together. Communication will take place from a serial port, thereby bypassing the 7344. My question is: will I have to can my entire previous Labview motion/data acquisition program b/c I won't be using the 7344 controller? Or, will it be easy to specify in the program to commmunicate via the serial port rather than the card? Would this setup take place in MAX, or in the LabView applicatio
    n itself? Any nuances that I should know about? Any info would be appreciated. THANX-ROB

    Rob,
    in this case you won't be able to use any of your motion related code. The motion VIs in LabVIEW call the NI-Motion driver dll and thus they are not hardware independant. By the way, this is not a specific disadvantage of the NI-Motion driver. In fact there is not such a thing available like a standardized interface and hardware independant motion control language.
    In general you will have to use low level serial communication (VISA). That means you have to read the drive/controller manual, identify the serial command strings you need and send them to the device.
    For configuration the drive vendor should provide a utility to set the necessary parameters.
    On the other hand you could be lucky in the case that the vendor of the drive/controller provides h
    igh level LabVIEW vis. You should check with this vendor if a LabVIEW driver is available. Still you will have to rewrite your motion related part of the code.
    I'm sorry that there are no better news.
