B&R Powerlink Ethernet module support with LabVIEW

Hello Guys,
I wanted to use the B&R Powerlink Ethernet module for one of my industrial applications where in I am planning to use cRIO system for the control but my drives ACOPOS 1022 servo Drive requires this module B&R Powerlink Ethernet module. The link is
http://www.br-automation.com/cps/rde/xchg/br-productcatalogue/hs.xsl/cookies_allowed.htm?caller=prod...
So i wanted to check the compatibility of LabVIEW with this particular module and if there is any option for me to program or atleast communicate with this module directly via LabVIEW? This will help me finalize my system and go ahead and start building.
Looking forward for some responses from everyone who has worked with similar setup.
Thank you so much in advance.
Regards,
Priyank Desai.

Hi,
unfortunatelly servodrives from B&R have no open programming interface, so you can not programm them from LabView.For operating B&R servodrive, B&R CPU is a must. This is because operating system of servodrive and all necessary parameters are stored at B&R CPU to guarantee trouble free run always. B&R serfvodrive ACOPOS is not for "component business".
You can listen and command them, when there is a B&R master CPU and servodrive is configured for that.
Following B&R product are Powerling standalone with no need for CPU:
ACOPOSinverter P74/P84
X20 IO system
X67 IO system
B&R CPU is required for ACOPOSmicro, ACOPOS, ACOPOSmulti ACOPOSm65 servodrive systems.
I suggest to contact local supoort of B&R at your country and they will help you how to connect this drive with LabView.

Is the Aardvark OEM I2C Host Adapter supported with Labview?

Hi All,
I am now looking forward to use Aardvark OEM I2C Host Adapter (http://www.totalphase.com/products/aardvark-oem-i2c/)
in LabView2013.
Question:
Is this device supported with LabView?
How can I use this device?
Best Thanks,
Jessie

Yes
We have plan to buy and use Aardvark OEM I2C Host Adapter and use it with LabView2013.
I am searching if this device already has LabView VI's for I2C communication.
I am not sure If we can use the VI's for Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter to Aardvark OEM I2C Host Adapter.
Before we decide to buy Aardvark OEM I2C Host Adapter we just want to make sure that we can use it.
Best Thanks.

Is the Intel I340-T4 Ethernet card compatible with LabView 8.6?

We are currently looking in to having our LabView program process the output of two Allied Vision cameras, run through a PCI GigE card.
On our old machine (32-bit Vista), we have a PRO/1000 PT Quad working just fine with the LabView interface - and we want to upgrade to a better PC with 64-bit Win 7.
We are under the impression that PRO/1000 PT is not compatible with Win 7, and were looking into either I340 quad-port adapters:
http://ark.intel.com/products/49186/Intel-Ethernet-Server-Adapter-I340-T4
Does anyone have any insight as to the compatibilities of the Intel 82580 controllers with LabView 8.6?

Hi Civa,
Scott here from AVT technical support. You are correct re. that PT card not being Win7 compatible. Here's a link to our current recommendations for NICs and switches.
http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/fileadmin/content/PDF/Support/Application_Notes/Hardware_Selection_fo...
If it's NOT in that list, it doesn't mean it won't work, merely that we haven't tested it and do not know. We do not attempt to test every 3rd party product on the market.
And our testing is typical with AVT SDKs not with Labview, though there are thousands of joint AVT / NI customers, and we'd have heard by now if there were any conflicts, I am confident.
Regards,
Scott

Fglrx module conflicts with labview 8.2

Hi, i need your help.
My graphic card is ATI x1300, and i am using slackware 12.1. This distribution used mesa for graphic driving by default and worked well with labview 8.2.
After i disable the Direct Rendering Manager of linux kernel config and recomiled the kernel(2.6.21.5) and installed ATI officail driver successfully, reboot, labview got the "segmentation fault" error. I confirmed that fglrx module loaded with nothing error.
Then i remove fglrx module and use Mesa instead, reboot, labview works fine.
Any idea to deal with this problem? Or is this a known bug? I want to use fglrx for graphic driving.
Thank you!

Two suggestions
Double check and make sure you have the Professional Development
version of Labview. Do this by starting Labview ant then clicking on
"Help" and "About Labview" The "About Screen" will tell you what
version of Labview you have installed on your computer. If the "About
Screen" says you have the Professional Development version of Labview
installed on your computer and you don't see "Application Builder" in
the "Tools" menu then I suggest you talk to your local National
Instruments Sales Representative to get help.

How many PXI Ethernet Cards supported in LabVIEW RT?

How many ethernet ports does LabVIEW RT support. If I put in several cards (such as PXI-8231, PXI-8232, or PXIe-8234) into a PXI chassis, then would I be able to configure and use them all?

Hello kmcdevitt,
It should be fine to have as many ethernet cards as you need in the PXI chassis. There's a global limit depending on the number of interrupt lines available on the motherboard (or PXI chassis), but it's up to around 16, depending on the controller. You would set them up using the Advanced Ethernet Settings section in MAX, as explained in this LabVIEW Real-Time Module Help article. I posted the 2011 help but this works for a few versions back, what version of LabVIEW RT are you using? Hope this helps!

Can I use an AutomationDirect T1H-EBC ethernet base controller with Labview?

Do I need to purchase an opc server?

Yes, You will need to purchase some type of communication "translator". If you purchase an OPC server, then you can use the datasocket VI's in LabVIEW to communicate to the device via OPC.

GPIB support on LabVIEW-RT

I would understand why the GPIB interface on the PXI-8175-RT is not supported with LabVIEW-RT.
The same interface is supported on the PXI-8146-RT.
As I have some performance problem to communicate with the Ethernet link, I would use the GPIB link to transfert data between 2 systems.

Hello,
That is correct. At this time, GPIB is only supported on the 8146 RT and 8156B RT controllers. LabVIEW RT does not support the GPIB controllers on the 8175 and 8176; also, PXI GPIB cards are not supported.
There are a few easy alternatives to using the ethernet link. One easy solution is to use your serial ports. Another solution is to use your I/O modules, like Analog or Digital lines on a Data Acquisition board to share information between systems.
I hope this information helps.

Solenoid Control with LabVIEW

Hey everyone,
Im brand new to LabView and I am in need of some assitance. Ive attached a picture of my block diagram setup. I need help with making the LabView code in order to help run this setup. I want to use LabView to activate my photoelectric sesnor, which when tripped will activate my solenoid valve immediately. The maximum allowable time between the photoelctric sensor being tripped to the valve opening cannot be greater than 50 milliseconds. I would also like to active my high speed camera 1 second prior to the electric sensor being activated. I have included the parts I am using in a list below. Thanks for all the help in advance.
Solenoid Valve: SV-282 from Omega
Photoelectric Sensor: Comet 14101A6517
Output cDAQ: NI-9472 (powered by external power supply "NI PS-15 24V")
Input cDAQ: NI-9421
Camera: Phantom v7.3 (connected through ethernet)
In summary: with labview, activate camera, activate photo sensor which when tripped will open solenoid valve immediately.

I'm confused as well. Why are you sending a signal to a sensor??? Provide power to the sensor all the time and read the digital output from it. Then, send a signal to the solenoid to activate whatever physical action you require when the sensor is triggered.
EDIT: One more thing. Since LabVIEW lacks any sort of time machine functionality you're going to have a fundamental problem activating your camera 1 second PRIOR to your trigger signal. Usually the answer to that sort of problem is solved by recording the video data constantly in a ring buffer and then when you receive your signal you grab the data.

You're at the fun stage of the project! You can start to write instrument drivers while (at the same time) learning how to program a state machine.
I LOVE starting projects I hate the tedium of finishing them... until they're done, then I love it again.

Can i communicate with labview, using ethernet or seriel modbus.

Is it possible to communicate with a i/o module and labview. I can communicate with ethernet, canbus(cscan, devicenet), rs232(modbus).
What is the easiest solusion.
Is it necessary to buy PC-cards for the communication or have only to download some drivers.
Thx

Hello,
To communicate with a CAN/DeviceNET bus you will need an interface card in your PC. NI has such cards along with LabVIEW VIs:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=1329〈=US
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=1311〈=US
To communicate with Modbus, you will NOT need any special cards but you do need software drivers for it (you'll obviously need an Ethernet card for TCP/IP and Serial port for RS232). There are several options for these drivers, however:
1. Write your own driver VIs. You'll basically implement the Modbus protocol in LabVIEW. Modbus is a simple and open protocol.
2. Try to search the Net for such existing VIs. I believe someone has already written such Modbus VIs.
3. Use the Industrial Automatio
n OPC Servers suite from NI:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=4584〈=US
4. Use any third-party OPC Server for Modbus.
NOTE: in case you opt 3 or 4 above: though you may use DataSocket in LabVIEW as an OPC Client, you may want to consider LabVIEW-DSC which has a built-in OPC Client, and hence better support for OPC.
Hope this gives you some options.

Khalid

Unload All Modules sometimes doesn't work with LabVIEW

TestStand's File >> Unload All Modules (and its RunState.Engine.UnloadAllModules() function) sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (with LabVIEW). When it doesn't, I have to quit LabVIEW to make TestStand unload LabVIEW VIs, otherwise I can't edit them.
Is there an "Unload All Modules" command that works all the time?

Hm, i assume that you have callbacks defined which do call those modules. Possible callbacks to look first are: SequenceFileLoad/Unload, FrontEndCallback.
Another possible reason is that there are components running in the LV RTE (runtime engine) calling into the VIs you try to debug/modify in the development environment.
Can you pinpoint the "lock" to specific sequences/modules? Do they lock only after specific sequences/modules have been executed?

Can LabView FPGA module work with non-NI FPGAs?

Simple Question: Can the LabView FPGA Module work with other FPGAs? Im assuming yes, but id like ot make sure first. Normaly I go with NI for most of my stuff, but they just are lacking in the FPGA hardware for what I need, but Im accustumed to LabView so I would like to stick with that to program it.
Thanks!

Using LabVIEW and LabVIEW RT you can access the registers on any PCI/PXI card using the NI-VISA driver. NI-VISA also allows you to handle interrupts and DMA data. For interrupts you will not actually write an interrupt service routine (ISR) in LabVIEW. Instead the VISA driver will acknowledge the interrupt to the card and then pass a VISA event to the LabVIEW application letting the application know that it needs to process the interrupt. Detailed information about this type of programming is available in the following documents.

Problems with installation of system and support files with Labview 5.1 on Windows NT.

I make installations disks with Labview 5.1 on Windows NT and I need to add some system files and other support files. When I'm in App Builder I choose them in "Add support files" and I mark their "custom directory destination" (c:\winnt\system32, c:\est\base) but, when I test the installation I see that files don't save in this directory, they save in 'C:\c\winnt\system32' and 'C:\c\est\base'. How can I solve this problem?

Jorge,
I know there were some problems with the LabVIEW 5.1 Application Builder that were fixed in the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Updater. I recommend you download that update to see if this fixes the problem. Also, double-check to make sure you have typed the file paths correctly. If you continue to have problems after installing the 5.1.1 updater, please let me know, and please attach your .bld file so I can examine it for any problems.
Thanks for your patience on this issue, and have a pleasant day.

Can you please tell me in detail how to connect a CFP-1808 and a CFP-RLY-425 with a ethernet conection to the labview please

Hi,
I am doing a research in creating a controlled environment, and i require using labview and NI equipment to control the environment. I am currently using a CFP-1808 as a bank, and using a relay module to connect it to the labview software.
Can you give me detailed information on how i will be able to do that.
regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,
Have you had an opportunity to take a look at the cFP-1808 Quick Start Guide? And the Operating Instructions for the cFP-RLY-425? Also the Compact FieldPoint FAQ is an excellent resource.
Hopefully those can get you on your way,
