Problem Connecting Third Party Driver to UMI-7772

Hi All,
I am having a few problems in connecting my third-party servo-driver (Higen FDA-5020) to UMI-7772, PXI-7350 and PXI-8106. My problem is stated below:
1. During trial (i.e. before my programing), is the switches of Fault, Enable and Limit LED on UMI-7772 needs to be Active High or Active Low?
2. When I try to communicate from MAX by enabling the Axis 1, the "Disable" LED on axis 1 light up RED. Is this means that Axis 1 is "Enable" as red mean "NOT" and red disable mean "NOT-DISABLE"?
3. When I try to interact with my driver via MAX (the interactive option in MAX), the "Motion Function Execution Status" stated "Successful (No Error)" but the servo-motor is standing still. During the execution, Axis Status are showing red light on "Both limit switches are active" and "Home switch is active". Is there any effect on the interaction I am trying to do?
4. How can I control the Digital I/O in MAX? Or I can only control it through LV? and How can I control via LV? Will LV sense the Digital I/O itself?
Detail of my motor and driver:
Motor: LF 20
Driver: FDA-5020
Attachments are the connection pin for driver and UMI and servo motor and driver manual.
Thanks for your answer.

Found the problem: it seems that the wire diagrams was wrong. After checking the resistance between the wires I founded that the 2 sets of wires per phase were Blue-White-Green and Red-Black-Orange, with White and Black being center tap, thanks to this NI page

Dear Nate,
Thank you for repling to my posts, i really appreciate that.
The links you provide is very helpfull.
i'm enginner in my education, but not in this area (i'm information systems eng.)
i decided that i need to learn more about it (ni-imaq, ni-motion, line-scan camera, servo, servo drives, encoder signals, motion i/o, umi, pci7344, etc..)
So, i download the manual and help files that is needed to my application i want to build
(high speed machine vision of color line-scan camera connected to motion with rtsi synchronization and also digital i/o)
and now i'm reading ALL this, its huge amount to read, and not all the thing i understand in the begining (english is not my lang..)

Umi7774_3rdPartyMotorDrive.pdf ‏228 KB

Mor,
Ok. I had to download the manual for your device, but I think I can help you out.
1. Do you have the 9 pin D-Sub connector that provides the Auxilary Incremental Encoder, or do you have the 15 pin D-Sub connector for the sinusoidal commutation, or do you have both? I would recommend the Auxilary Incremental Encoder if possible. I need to know which one you have in order to help you completely setup your system.
2. You need to connect pin 3 of the drive to pin 1 of the Axis 1 Control connector on the UMI.
3. You need to connect pin 4 of the drive to pin 9 of the Axis 1 Control connector on the UMI.
4. You need to connect pin 4 of the drive to pin 8 of the drive.
5. You will need to change the settings on the drive so that it know you are in Torque mode instead of velocity mode (CP.10).
6. Depending on what you are going to use for feedback (Auxilary Incremental Encoder/Sinusoidal Commutation) you will need to hook the proper D-Sub connecter to the UMI, the instructions on how to do this can be found in the 735x user manual, which can be found through the link below...
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371060a.pdf
NOTE: I recommend you use the Auxilary Incremental Encoder if possible, it is easier to use and setup. If you do not have both the Auzilary Incremental Encoder and the Sinusoidal Commutation, then you will need to purchase it for your drive. Attached is an excerpt from the manual showing what I am talking about.
I hope this helps,

Kollmorgen Motors with PCI-7342 and UMI-7772

Hi,
I am trying to connect a pair of third-party servo-motors (Kollmorgen AKM11B-ANCNC-00) and drives (Kollmorgen AKD P00306-NBAN-0000) using a National Instrument motion controller NI PCI-7342 and motion interface NI UMI-7772.
Ever since the setup has been connected to a new computer, the motors aren't moving even though they are connected. The motors are detected by the GUI for the motors (Kollmorgen Workbench) but the program shows that the hardware is not enabled.
It has also been noticed that the LED indicating 'Interlock' shows red, and so do the LEDs indicating the 'Disabled' for both the axes on the UMI.
The 'Axis Configuration' for both axes on the NI MAX program indicate 'Enabled'.
Since only the PCI board has been switched from the old computer (where the setup was working well) to the new one, most cable connections have been left untouched.
Any help/suggestions on why the motors aren't working is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Subhabrata

Could you explain a little more on what you mean by 'current settings on limit switches' ? Anyway in accordance to the link you attached to the previous reply, we changed the settings on the NI MAX program to correspond that on the switch (on the UMI) and now we don't get the error (70119). Thanks for that.
But we still cannot get the motors to work. The 'interlock' light is still on. We took out the 'control' and 'feedback' ports that go into the UMI for the two axes and probed the voltage between pin 6 and pin 9 on the control port. One link (from the Knowledgebase) had suggested that we would get a voltage around 24V, but we did not. It was the same for both the axes. Does that suggest anything ? Should we look into replacing the cables connecting the UMI and the motion controller (even though the they were working fine before we moved set-up) ? Or could it even have something to do with the motion controller itself ?
Thanks in advance,
Subhabrata

NI UMI-7772 and third party Stepper Drives

Dear all
Now we want to control a stepper motor with voltage ratings up to 110 V and 0.5 A at 110 V
we have the 2 Axis PCI-7342 motion controller and the NI UMI-7772 Terminal block for third party motor drives
please advice , what is the suitable third-party stepper drive that can fullfill the above ratings and compatible with the UMI-7772 ??
i have found only one link for a company called ParkerMotion (check this link : http://www.parkermotion.com/literature/pdf/aries.pdf ) but I'm not sure if it is compatible with the UMI-7772 or not
waiting your replies and thanks in advance

Almost any standard stepper or servo drive would be compatable with a UMI. The Parker Aries you have a link to is a servo drive, not a stepper drive. You motor ratings are unusual for a stepper motor. What is the brand and model? I have had good luck with Applied Motion stepper products. www.applied-motion.com

What are the pin connections from 7764 to stepper motor drive

what are the pin connections from UMI 7764 to stepper motor drive? I use PCI 7340 controller. Third party driver is not branded, but assembled. It has 3 inputs, one for (A,A/) one for (b,b/) one for enable, apart from ground pin.

Dear enigmata,
Here is a link to the UMI Manual that describes the signal connections:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/321941b.pdf
What you really need is the documentation for the input of the "translator" mentioned on the left side of the last diagram you posted. It is still not possible to tell which of you drive inputs correspond to step and direction (or CW, CCW) because in the circuit that you posted, these signals have already been converted by other circuitry in the drive to the A, A/, B, B/ output signals for the stepper motor.
I agree with Jochen: Without the documentation you will need to test it out as he described in his last post.

How do I connect UMI 7772 with ECMD 275 amplifier (from EC Motion)

Hi,
I have connected the UMI 7772 to the ECMD 275 amplifier from EC Motion to operate a stepper motor, but it`s not working. I connected the analog output signal from the control connector of the UMI 7772 to the Puls+ of the ECMD 275 and according to this the analog output ground to the Puls-. Furthermore I connected the Step (CW) of the UMI to the Direction+ of the ECMD and Dir (CCW) to Dir-, Fault + of the UMI to Ready+ of the ECMD and Fault- to Ready-.
Does anybody know if I can connect the ECMD to an analog output signal? Or does anybody have an idea what the mistake is?
Thanks to everybody!
Steffi

> At Axis Status there are the following LEDs red: Limit Switch is active and Home Switch is active. Does that matter???
Yes, it DOES matter. If the motion controller thinks that one of the limit switch is active, it does not perform any motion towards that (sometimes imaginary) limit switch. If it thinks that BOTH limit switches are active, consequently it does NOT perform ANY motion.
> Can we change that?
Yes. You can set the polarity of the limit switches to the opposite value, or disable them completely (if you do not plan to use any limit switches, in a rotary motion system, for example, this usually is not necessary).
In general, as mentioned above, NONE of the limit switch indicators should light up if you did not connect any switches. Obviously LabView has an initialization setting for the limit switches which is different from that in MAX.
You don't have to care about the HOME switch indicator too much. You can change the polarity or disable it, too, if you do not use any reference position in your motion system. (It is strictly recommended to use a reference position and a sensor on that position for practical use in case the system gets out of sync - there is no way the motion controller can check actual position of your system if there is no feedback via a HOME switch or a - rotary or linear - encoder.)

PXI 7332, UMI 7772, P70530 Drive LabView example

I am using the following equipment in a single axis motion control setup.
PXI 7332, UMI 7772, P70530 Drive, NEMA 34 stepper motor, wiithout an endcoder.
I am able to operate the motor sucessfully using the Motion Assistant. I have used the generate code option but having trouble turing that into a simple VI.
Essentially I would like to create a simple VI to control the motor, and send it number of steps and direction information,
Any suggestions for a sample VI that is out there?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
You might try taking a look at some of the example vi's from LabVIEW's Example Finder. Go to Help » Find Examples... When that window pops ups, double-click Toolkits & Modules in the folder list, then double-click NI Motion Assistant. I'm guessing the "Straight Line Move.vi" or "Blended Move.vi" would be most helpful to you, but you could read the descriptions of each example listed for a little bit more information about what the examples are doing.

PCI 7390 - MCA 7790 - Panasonic Motors

Hello,
We have bought the PCI 7390 and MCA 7790 boards in order to control Panasonic Motors. Specifically, we want to control the MADDT1207 and MADDT1207N servo drives for MINAS A4/A4N motors.
Our firs trouble is with the MADDT1207N servo drive, wich does not have direct conectivity with the MCA 7790 board. We have a 50 pin SCSI cable to connect the MADDT1207 with the MCA 7790, and it works more or less ok, but the MADDT1207N has a 37 pin connector instead of 50 pin. My question is, is there any way to connect them. Does National Instruments sell a special cable for this?
I use Measurment & Automation to test the boards with the MADDT1207 servo drives (the 50 pins one), and after some time to configure both, the MADDT1207 and the Measurment & Automation program, I am able to move the motor. Ten points for NI!! Its quite easy if you take some considerations. But what I am not able to, is to get the encoder data correctly. I know this data is transferred by the OA, OB and OZ differential signals. If I go to Measurment & Automation->NI Motion Devices->PCI 7390->1D interactive->Advanced Tab->Advanced Data group box, there is a field that says Encoder, and it ontly changes between 0 and 1, so I believe the data is being transferred, but the PCI 7390 does not understand MADDT1207. Looking at the panasonics manual, I realized that each differential (OA, OB, and OZ) pair must be terminated with a 330 ohm parallel resistor. This is my second question, does anybody know if I have to put this resistor? I measured with the multimeter and the pair is terminated with high impedance (no resistor). I tried to put a 330 ohm resistor in the MCA 7790 board (just between the connector pins), but nothing changed. I know the resistor must be at the end of the pair, but I would not like to solder the resistors in the PCI board if its not needed.
In the Encoder Settings in Measurment & Automation->Default 7390 Settings->Axis 1, I have disabled the Filter Fequency field, I put 10000 counts per revolution, and I tried with several combinations of Polarities and Index References Criteria.
In the Servo parameters I have:
44 (number of output pulse ratio) = 2500 (counts per revolution)
45 (denominator of output pulse ration) = 0 (wich means x4 (= 10000), is used)
46 Pulse output logic inversion = 0 (no inversion)
47 Z-phase of external scale set up = 0 (Z-phase output of external scale becomes invalid)
Any ideas? Does anybode succeeded with the encoder?
Thanks in advance

Hello everybody,
After a month searching the problem, finally I found it:
My new 50pin SCSI cable is broken: the pins 48 and 49, corresponding to the encoder signals OB+ and OB- were shorted. The cable has a label with the reference:
NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS 194604A-02, 50 POS MDR, 0636 12506
I used a standard 50pin SCSI cable and it worked fine.

UMI 7772 voltage limit?

Hi,
does anybody know if the UMI 7772 releases voltage under 5V?
I tried to run a stepper motor wit the UMI 7772 (with MAX). There is no error at MAX, Axis is moving, no LEDs are red, but the motor isn't moving?! So my only idea is that the voltage released from the UMI Axis is beneath 5V (because the motor needs 5V at least). I connected the motor to the step signal and digital ground of the control connector of the UMI Axis. Are there other possibilities? Can I set the voltage release to 5V anywhere?
Thanks a lot.
Steffi Kono

I just checked the manual briefly, and it is stated that also in the 5V input version optocouplers are used.
Optocouplers usually need several milli-amps to drive the input LED. Some work with 3mA, some need 5mA, virtually all will work with 10mA input current.
The TTL output of the UMI/NI board will be current limited by the 3.3kOhm pull-up resistor. With the load of an optocoupler, the output voltage will break down to the forward voltage of the input LED which probably is around 1.0V at the given current limit.
To drive optocouplers, it is better to use the outputs of the NI boards/UMI in "sink mode". Connect a +5V source to the (+) terminal of the driver input in question, and connect the (-) terminal to the output of the NI board. The power supply must have common GND (DGND) with the NI board. In sink mode, the outputs can drive up to 24mA which is more than sufficient for all optocoupler inputs.
Note that the logic level of the outputs is reversed. You should set them to "active low" mode. I.e., if you write a 0 into a given output, the output transistor will switch on. In source mode, the voltage across the output resistor would break down, thus yielding a TTL low level. In sink mode, current will flow from the +5V source through the optocoupler and activate it. This is not very important for the STEP output, but for the DIR output this is VERY important - direction of movement will be reversed if you use sink mode instead of source (TTL output) mode.

Position Control of compumotor 406LXR linear servo table and GV-U6E(motor drive) with PCI-7344

Since I had the answers referring:

Wiring step was done well. However, I still have a problem that MAX configuration doesn't fit in compumotor drive settings. Therefore, the setup is shown below, and I want to know how I can set up PCI-7344 configuration in MAX or LabVIEW VI.

First of all, before connecting the drive to the 73xx controller I would check that the drive and motor configuration works correctly independent from the controller. The Gemini drives have a utility called the Motion Planner that allows you to configure your motor and drive for independent operation so you can test if the motor and drive combination are working by themselves. Refer to page 18 of the Gemini GV installation guide which you can find at the compumotor site or download from:
http://www.compumotor.com/manuals/gemini/Gemini_GV_HW_Install_Guide.pdf
Once you have tested your motor and drive combination, make sure that the drive is configured in torque mode and that the command signal is configured to be sent from the I/O connector and not through RS232 using the Motion Planner. The next step would be to connect the 7344 through the UMI-7764 breakout box in the following order:
---- UMI7764 GVU6E
---- AOut Cmd+ (pin23)
---- AOGnd Cmd- (pin24)
---- InhOut Enable- (pin2)
---- +5V Enable+ (pin24)
7344 --> EncA AX+ (pin8)
---- EncA- AX- (pin9)
---- EncB BX+ (pin10)
---- EncB- BX- (pin11)
---- Index ZX+ (pin12)
---- Index- ZX- (pin13)
---- +5V Encoder +5V (pin5)
Verify that your enable line is connected in an open collector mode (as shown in the diagram above). Our inhibit outputs can sink current but not source it so if your enable line is not behaving properly you want to make sure that the +5v supply you are suing for the UMI can source enough current for your enable line to work. Consult Compumotor on the specs of their enable switch.
Once the connections are done properly, all you need to do is configure and initialize your board for servo operation in MAX and then you can start your tuning process. Refer to the Tuning PID for servos tutorial in:
http://www.ni.com/support/motnsupp.htm
for instructions on tuning your servomotor properly. Also for more information on using MAX, refer to the following tutorial:

Via assembly instance 101 i suppose to read the 16B data frame from controller and via assembly instance 100 i suppose to write the 16B data frame to controller. That works without error. The size is return correctly as 16B if i read attribute 4.
But the data inside does not change at all, the read data does not correspond to the actual state of the controller and written data has no impact on the controller as well.
Anyone know what the reason may be?
Attached my simple Vi to communicate with the controller:
Niether NI tech support niether Festo support is not able to help me. NI thinks this is controller issue, Festo thinks this is labview driver issue since the communication is working with PLCs like AllenBradley. I stucked in between.
Thanks for any kind of help

Hi,
Thank you for attaching the vi in LV11....I need to upgrade;-)
If I were you I'd double check your constants again. When I displayed the radix (see screenshots) they were in decimal state. That means you were addressing Object x64 (d100) rather than Object x100 (d256). The same for Object x101. In the screenshot below you can see how to right-click, select display format and then you have a lot of dispay obtions (including hex or decimal).
FHPP is 'FESTO Handling and Positioning Profile' so it really does depend on how closely it matches the industry standard. To be honest I have no idea how close it is or not - I just know its different than CANOpen. With luck it in Ethernet/IP it might be similar at the driver level!
Anyhow assuming the radix issue doesn't give you a quick fix the FHPP is probably the main issue. I'd ask FESTO to point you at the software their tech support uses - usually they use freeware/shareware PC based software so you should be able to replicate what they do on your own system. Then with a port-sniffer you might be able to reverse engineer the FHPP to match what NI drivers produce.
All the best,
Dave
