What are resources that one has to use motion control in LabView?

I am a newbie at Labview and I am trying to get a stepper motor to drive a shaft for one rotation (the shaft is attached to a bearing which will rotate a laser around a fixed object in the center). I am very limited in experience and I am wondering if ValueMotion is the way to go. Do you have to purchase the PC controller from NI to use value or flex motion? It would appear that using the intialization and setup VI's that ship with LV 6i would be the easiest and quickest route.
What demos/programs for labview will be best in helping me in my efforts? I have yet to even select the controller or stepper motor for this application.

Hello Graymalkin79...
LabVIEW and an NI motion controller for your PC are an excellent combination for the application that you describe. To answer your specific questions...Yes the ValueMotion and FlexMotion VI's require a PC based controller from NI. For your application, either the 7334 stepper controller (ValueMotion) or the 7344 step/servo controller (FlexMotion) will do the trick. For straighforward stepper control as you describe in your application, ValueMotion is fine and the VI's for init, setup and operation should have you up and running quickly. FlexMotion provides a significant level of motion capability and overall system integration that may enhance your total application, but that's difficult to determine from your brief description.
Most
any Stepper Motor requires a power driver unit like the MID7602, and the selection of this component really depends on the motor that you choose and its associated torque and speed requirements in your system.
Both ValueMotion and FlexMotion VI libraries provide motion demos that you can use interactively as well as VI's that you can integrate into your overall laser based LabVIEW application.

  • Has anybody used motion control card like a CNC contol with G-codes with part program editor?

    I have to use national instruments PXI 7344 motion card to substitute a CNC control that uses G-codes and M-codes in a part program . I need to know if some body has already developed such an application and also developed a part program editor.

    ABMSoft - an NI alliance member in Eastern Europe has developed a very powerful G-code interpretor for LabVIEW. Their ABMS-NC toolkit for LabVIEW also includes an offline simulation tool. They have successfully deployed many machines using this toolkit. Its available directly from ABMSoft for $995. You can contact ABMSoft directly.

    The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
    If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

    Hi all,
    I have created a plugin which sends the current file path to an url,

    That is its sending the file path only for one file. While i tried for the second time its not working
    I am using following suits in my plugin
    AIDocumentSuite
    AIFilePathSuite
    AIActionManagerSuite

    AIURLSuite
    I am using the "AIURLSuite" for calling the url and it is calling the url multiple times while its used alone, and its only working once with the multiple suites.
    What are the things taken care while using multiple suites? , is it neccessary to release all variables and the suites after completing the task?
    Should they released in the same order in which they are acquired?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The problem was with the "sAIDocument->GetDocumentModified(mod);"
    The "GetDocumentModified" is crashing after  executing once, i just removed that statement , and now
    i am forcefully saving the document with out checking the modification status!
    Its working fine now!
    Could you please tell me how can we lock a plugin , or a particular function in a plugin.
    There is any specific standard to use the GetDocumentModified function?

  • What are Struts and how it is used in SAP

    Hi
    can anyone give a idea that what are struts and how it is used in SAP
    Regards
    JM

    Hi John,
    In this case google.com really us your friend - Struts is not an SAP technology, rather it is an MVC development paradigm (love using that word for Java.  There are lots of useful websites with generic information around struts as well as a number of good books available from Amazon for instance.
    As far as Struts and SAP goes - SAP use Struts for their Internet Sales CRM Webshop application.  Of course, like anything else from SAP it has been modified slightly but is essentially the same.

    I have two movie credits on my iTunes account. What are credits, and how can I use them?

    You have a Puerto Rico address on your account ? From a quick search I've found one site from somebody in Puerto Rico that includes a screenshot for an app receipt showing tax of 7 cents added to a 99 cent purchase. Are you able to view the purchase history on the account that you've been using, and see what prices show on them (e.g. if the store's listed price or price plus tax) : Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, then 'see all' link next to the Purchase History section.

    Compare the strengths and limitations of the Web Parts
    It’s important that you understand the strengths and limitations of the two Web Parts because if you choose the wrong one, your site could run into performance problems. You can use both Web Parts to show content that is based on a query. In a simplified
    world, here’s how you can decide between the two:
    Use the CQWP when you have a limited amount of content, your query is simple, and you don’t expect your content to grow much in the future.
    Use the CSWP in all other scenarios when you want to show content that is based on a query.
    The table below gives a comparison of the two Web Parts:
    Web Part behavior

    You’ll need to know about certain search features such as
    managed properties.

  • Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

    Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

    There are also iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, etc., some only support Flash some support Java and Flash.
    Adobe never made a version of Flash for iOS and closed their mobile flash division a couple of years ago. You can get Flash on other personal devices but you will be using a 2 year old version that has not been patched for security vulnerabilities.
    When the original iPhone was released Mr. Jobs said it would never run Java as it was old technology and a security risk. Nothing has changed since.

  • What are the advanteges and disadvanteges of using pl/sql over hibernate

    i knwo that pl/sql are well structure and provide a lot of functionalities with oracle databse , but my question is the hibernate might give some advnateges of scalability over pl/sql.
    so what are the advanteges and disadvanteges of using pl/sql over hibernate?
    and does oracle recommend using hibernate for connecting JSP with oracle 11i , or it is better to connect the JSP pages with oracle databse using pl/sql ?

    812643 wrote:
    but if i search for the diferencess then there are a lot of opinions about this ..., specially when they say that with hibernate you can integrate with any DB , and it provides object printed architecture, etc.All databases are not equal. This is a basic and fundamental fact. SQL-Server is not Oracle. Oracle is not SQL-Server. As it is the case with Sybase, Ingres, DB2 and other database products. They are all different. And there are some very core differences between them.
    So how would a product like Hibernate treat these database products with their differences? By using the lowest common denominator. Which means your expensive database product is dumbed down - and even MS Access will likely have better and more features.
    You also need to decide what is the "permanent" part in your architecture. What is going to the core? What is the expensive part? The app server (with Hibernate)? Or the database server?
    What are you likely to change next year? The app server server? Or the database server?
    In the vast majority of cases, the core is the database server. That is your biggest expense and investment. As it should be - as it holds that which is most precious to business, data. You want to ensure the integrity of that data. The accuracy of that data. Make sure that it can be easily backed up and recovered. Is flexible to use. Etc. Etc.
    The database server is the core - and that is where you need to realise your return on investment. By using the database server to its full extent.
    Hibernate does not do that. And in that respect, it is junk.
    Why does it not do that? Because many Java developers are totally and fully clueless about what database servers are and how to use them. And want to use them as little plug-in black boxes - bit buckets that are only there to provide a data persistence layer. Instead of using the database server to its full extent, they instead use Hibernate, and try to do their own "+database thing+" in the app layer - and do it poorly and with utter lack of any scalability. (and no, only ignorant Java heads think that scalability means throwing more money and h/w at it)
    My largest database processes billions of rows per day, every day, 356 days a year (between 350 to 450 million new inserts into a single table per day). And have been for several years now. It does so using PL/SQL. Using Oracle to its full extent. Then there are Java heads that cannot even design and code an app that effectively process 1% of this volume... and grasp at straws like Hibernate and other Java cr@p to "fix" this - when the actual problem is their total lack of ignorance in how to use and scale the database server.
    Hibernate is trash - and a symptom of Java developers's ignorance of database technology.

  • What are the adv and disadv of using SRM as an addon?

    Hi Friends
    what are the adv and disadv of using SRM as an addon
    Regards
    Simha

    Hi Simha,
    Here are my view points on SRM and ECC one client deployment: The decison to have one client for SRM and ECC is more driven by the business model of the client and functionalities one need out of SRM .Following points needs to considered before deployment:
    1) ERP and SRM as an add-on does not support any multiple-backend functions or hub deployment for procurement.
    2) Upgrade or migration from SRM system to ERP with SRM as add-on is not supported
    3) Strategic sourcing scenarios in SRM are not used by clients with such deployments
    4) Although SRM is running on the same client as ECC the purchasing organization have to be maintained in both MM and SRM system
    5) From HR Orgstructure stand point there is no additional benifit in same client deployment as compared to seperate deployment
    6) From Security stand point its better to have a seperate client for SRM-vendor registration as this functionality is exposed to outside world and internet.
    7) Master Data Synchronization is a positive point which is only available within the SRM Add-on deployment with ECC
    8) For SRM and ECC (seperate) master data management remains asynchronous and unidirectional

    Hi all
    what are the delta mechanisms and tables used for  Lo Extraction & COPA.
    please explain clealry.
    Thanks & Regards,
    James

    James,
    Please go through Roberto's weblog :
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/02/14/logistic-cockpit--when-you-need-more--first-option-enhance-it
    Anyways,
    As you know LO cockpit consists of different modules(MM, PP, SD, etc)
    They are called appl components. Each of them have a number (eg.MM=02) and for each appl comp they might be different Data sources and for each DS they might be different tables. So, unless you be specific we cant tell a specific table for a DS.
    coming to the delta mechanisms, there are " direct delta, queqed delta and serialized delta".
    Copa is based on the oepration concern. it can be created on " accouting based" or "costing based".
    Assign points if helpful
