Which stepper motor is required to connect with labview

title:fault detection in pen. i am doing a project in image processing using labview .i want to interface stepper motor with labview using daq how can i interface and which type of stepper motor is suitable for rolling metal sheet in which the pen is placed at the top

I would start with the motor and work down, Labview will woek with any.
1. Figure out how much motor you need: torque, speed, resolution, size (nema 23, 34 .....)
2. Select a drive for your motor: many diferent drivers to control a particular motor, How much current is required, motor voltage, inductance
3. Determine the interface to the controller: step and direction, cw/ccw, serial. (I like step and direction)
4. Determine support options for the motor, encoders, limit switches ...
5. Now you can select your ni card to match the interface, (NI Motion- good for copmlex interfaces and multimotor synchronization, Digital/ counter timers simple but limited conmplexity, less expensive but more software needs to be written)
This all depends on budget and requirements.

Lost ActiveX connection with LabVIEW server

I have called LabVIEW in TestStand and tried to execute the test cases .
While executing I got the following error: ( Lost ActiveX connection with LabVIEW server.
The LabVIEW adapter will try to reconnect on the next execution attempt.-18001; An error occurred accessing the LabVIEW ActiveX automation server.).

Same error. Is anyone from NI going to bother commenting on this? It's been >8 months...

I want to run a stepper motor using FPGA card 7851r with 9474 driver C rio 9151 is it possible or can i do in LABVIEW CVI

Hello i want to run Stepper with 7851 R FPGA card with 9474 driver of crio chasis but i am not able to understand how to proceed .Or can opt this option by using lab view CVI
Solved!

Hi SHV,
actually I don't know in which context you want to use your existing hardware for your stepper motor.
1. The hardware, which you describe, is/was used for which application? ( data acquisition, controlling a system, etc)?
2. Did you buy the hardware especially for the motor application?
3. You don't know how which signals are required for your stepper motor.
Here are some basics from NI about motor control
Fundamentals of Motion Control
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3367/en
NI Motion Control Technical Library
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3054/en
4. Why do you get the idea the digital output module 9474 is suitable for the stepper motor?
I would recommend to talk directly to the customer support, so we can figure out in detail your aims about
the application. Contact your local NI office or request
a service request on following website:

HP/Agilent Infiniium 54831B scope - how to connect with LabView 6.0 by LAN (TCP/IP)

Dear,
I'm looking inf. how to connect Agilent Infiniium 54831B scope with LabView 6.0 by LAN (TCP/IP).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Z.Mrowka

Hello,
If the instrument is capable of being controlled from its TCP/IP port, it will be possible to communicate with the instrument from LabVIEW using VISA.
The VISA resource name input will need to be entered manually and is a little different from the normal Serial or GPIB format. The format is as follows:
For SOCKET connections, this is just like the traditional TCP functionality in LabVIEW. An example string that connects with the NI FTP site is:
"TCPIP::ftp.ni.com::21:OCKET"
For INSTR connection, this requires a device that supports the T&M standard LAN instrument protocol. An example of this (that we have tested with) is the Tektronix 3054 Scope. A string that connects with this scope is: "TCPIP::HostnameOrIP::gpib0,1::INSTR"
I hope this
helps,

N6030A Connection with LabView

Hi,
I am working with N6030A connected to Laptop through MXI Express.
I read http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=270&message.id=3106&requireLogin=False
and it doesn't solve my problem, everything in IVI-drivers section on Measurement and Automatic Explorer seems to be alright
I have a code in mathlab, which can strangely communicate with the N6030A. Moreover, the N6030A Control Utility can detect the N6030A address.
However, I cannot even connect to this device with LabView.
When I use a AGN6030A driver (AGN6030A Initialize with Option) on Labview and connect it with an IVI resource name, there is only "ASRL3::INST" address available, which I don't really know what kind of device it is. Anyway, the connection using this resource name doesn't work either.
I have also tried to copy the resource name that is showed on my N6030 Control Utility, and it doesn't work.
Can you guys help me.
Thank you

Hi,
Which instrument driver did you download? Which hardware bus are you using (GPIB, PXI, ethernet, etc)? I assume your instrument is PXI based; is this correct?
The resource name "ASRL3::INSTR" corresponds to your serial port in your computer. If you are connecting to your N6030A using this serial port, ASRL3::INSTR is the correct resource to choose.
From searching the instrument driver network, it looks like this is the only instrument driver available. It does not look like it is an IVI driver, but instead a software utility that you can use to communicate with the instrument. How do you access this instrument through Matlab? Through a DLL? Through VISA?

K8047 Velleman connecting with labVIEW trouble

Hi
I have a K8047 Velleman datalogger and we want to connect this with Labview.
This is the labVIEW program we used to read the data. (Found on this forum).
I can find the K8047 in the 'Meassurement and Automation Explorer' by using the NI-VISA driver.
After running this block program in labview, Here is no error code shown. But there is no data output on the screen too.
What can be the problem?
Thank you

Ok thank you. We deleted the VISA Wizard. What do we need to do with the dll?
There are two dll files...
K8047D.dll
FASTTIME32.dll
We read on the forum that these two files as well as
K8047e.exe needs to be in the same folder as the VI.
If we do so, we still get no data?

Connection with LabView & 54600B Oscilloscope & Agilent E4438C

Hi,
I am trying out an exercise on receiving the data from the 54600B oscilloscope into LabVIEW Analog and Digital Modulations VIs. Currently, i am trying out on ASK modulation and i want to grab the signal/waveform from the scope and display in the ASK modulation exactly the same as ASK modulation graph. And this ASK modulation will be used as SubVIs,which can be seen from the attachment to have a clearer image on the work.Can anyone please help me??This is very important because it is my project work..Thanks Alot!

Hi,
yes, that's the graph i am talking about. I think you can see it the ranges and position beside the graph belong to it and have their 'default' setting of scales which is autoscale but i cannot see(or display another) the waveform in the graph when i run my exercise. So i have to set the scales manually instead of using the default scales. For a clearer explaination, eg. i set my scope and display a waveform i want, but when i run the exercise, not only the "signal generator information graph" did not display the desired waveform i want in addition, it affect and change the waveform in the scope too (some time too big and scope hang for a few sec or other waveform). that's why i have to set the setting of the "signal generator information graph" manually but i don't know in order to set the value of those ranges and position,what factor or condition i must take into consideration. I did know can change the scale, thanks but i don't know how to set to a correct scales as i have failed for many times in displaying the waveform correctly both in scope and LabVIEW "signal generator information graph".

Anaheim Automation stepper motor with PCI-7330 and UMI-7764

Hi, I'm fairly new to LabView 2010 and stepper motors in general. I've been trying to get an Anaheim Automation stepper motor and encoder to work with LabView with some success but it isn't quite right. My main problem is when the home switch is activated the whole thing is killed and I cannot get it to respond unless I manually turn the motor so that it is not on the home switch anymore. After that it will run ok, unless it hits the home switch again (btw if it hits the forward limit switch it will stop but it will accept a command to move away from it).
Could someone please take a look at my wiring diagram in the link below and let me know if there is anything obviously wrong with how I wired it up or if you have any suggestions on where my settings might be going wrong I'd really like to hear from you.
Thanks,
Rob

Thanks for the reply, I am trying to run any of the find reference example VIs from NI. I've not edited the code in any way.
The motors will run with the wiring I've posted, it'll move to the forward limit switch then come back again but it will then hit the home switch, the motor stops and cannot be started again until it is manually moved off the home switch. It has never made it all the way to the reverse limit switch meaning I cannot use home (it stops) or the centre (can't find the reverse limit) as a reference point.
It was suggested to me I might have the grounds miswired, the manuels were not all that clear so I'm unsure.

NI Motion Controllers and Drives compatibility with stepper motors

Hello:
I'm trying to setup a motion control system and I'm facing some trouble. The final goal is to be able to control a couple of stepper motors.We already have a PXI System with a PXI-7354 motion controller, and a UMI-7774 connector block. What we don't have yet is the stepper drives and motors. It's likely that because of torque requirements we may need a gearbox. Here I disclose some of my doubts:
We are considering the P70360 or the P70530 drives, but I would like to know if it is possible to connect thrid party drives to the motion controllers? What requirements this drives should comply?
Similar as the first one, Is it possible to connect third party stepper motors to the NI stepper drives? What requirements this motors should comply?
Finally, Is it possible to adapt gearboxes to the NI stepper motors? If so, Which ones are recommended?
Thanks in advance,
Robst.
Robst - CLD
Using LabVIEW since version 7.0

Hello Robst,
Either the P70360 or the P70530 will be good drives depending on your wattage requirement. A loose rule regarding wattage is not to exceed 80% of capacity. If you think you'll exceed that, buy bigger.
Regarding third party drives, though many are compatible we cannot guarantee compatiblitty of all drives nor are we able to support them. That being said you may want to take a look at these KBs which describe some issues to be mindful of when looking at third party drives.
How Do I get the 73xx Controller and UMI-7764 to Drive a Third Party Stepper Motor?
How to Connect NI 73xx Digital Outputs to Third Party Equipment
How to connect the 73xx inhibit and command signal outputs to third party drives.
Some points to glean from the above links are what kind of current gets sinked and sourced by the drives to insure compatibility. Regarding stepper motors, again we will only be able to guarantee compatiblity and provide support for stepper motors provided by NI. That said, the majority of stepper motors I've seen are compatible with our equipment assuming the drive it's connected to is compatible. Below are some articles that may help you make a decision on what type of stepper motor you choose.
Selecting the Proper Size Stepper Motor
NI Stepper Motion System Selection Guide
How Can I Determine My Stepper Motor Wiring Without the Stepper Motor Pinout?
As for gearboxes, you will just need to make sure that the gearbox you select fits properly with the motor you are using. Often the gearboxes are standardized to NEMA sizes that correspond with the stepper motors. Kollmorgen, who manufactures the motors that we sell, also makes gearboxes. Their gearboxes would be a good place to start.

Connecting stepper motor to the module 9512

Hello,
I must do project in LabVIEW.
I use the compactRIO with module 9512 (Stepper Drive Interface Module with Encoder Feedback). I built a small program of this tutorial http://www.ni.com/white-paper/9666/en#toc10. Now I need connect stepper motor to the module and I would like to run my VI.
I want to connect small stepper motor (which once was in the 3.5-inch floppy drive - this is bipolar motor with four pins) with module 9512. I don't know which pins DSUB or MDR I must link with my inputs stepper motor. "In Getting started with NI 951x.pdf" written: "Connect the Step and Direction outputs to the stepper drive." and "Connect the Drive Enable output to the stepper drive."
Which outputs I should connect with my stepper motor?
Thank you in advance.

That is correct, these elements or their equivalent. It is necessary to convert the control signals from the 9512 into motor drive signals.
The P7000 getting started gives an overview of all this:

Connect RS232 with labview to read current and voltage values.

Hi, I am trying to connect my microcontroller kit which will measure the current and voltage. I was provided with rs232 port to connect with labview to read the voltage and current data that is measured by my controller. How to make it display both current and voltage value by acquirng the data from rs232. I tried some programming but it doesn't work or it was wrong. How to make it work ?

As we said in the other thread, you need to talk to whoever is designing the microcontroller and decide on a specific format for it send you the data. Once we have that, then we can start talking about how to program this up.
