  • Control systems in Labview?

    I'm completely new to labview and am trying to program a control
    system for an experimental actuator. I have the Labview Full System
    package (8.2) and can't seem to figure out how to input a transfer
    function in the frequency domain into a block diagram. Is this even
    possible with my package, or do I need to by another palette?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    I think you can achieve this using LabVIEw itself.
    Or try searching the forums for Control System toolkit.
    Also, there is a VI in the Analyze -->> Signal Processing -->> Frequency Domain palette.
    See to it if it can fit your requirement.

  • How to create a feedback control system in labview with an integration block?

    Hallo,
    I design a model of a simple mechanic system composed by one damper, one mass and one spring.
    I would simulate a free response of this mechanic system, but I don't be able to integrate the mechanic state in Labview.
    Seeming that the integration block in LabView produce a wrong answer.
    I've attached this model create in Labview 8.2.1.
    Thanks in Advance

    Michele,
    First of all, when you are trying to develop a Dynamic Simulation, I strongly recommend that you use the LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module (http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/203826), or, for LabVIEW 8.2.1, the LabVIEW Simulation Module. They allow you to develop your dynamic simulation natively in LabVIEW, specially in the case that you have feedback loop in your code (which is your case).
    Now, looking at your program, I have several recommendations that would help you to better control your simulation. First, avoid using the Dynamic Datatype (Blue wire) in you simulation. For example, you are generating a Waveform inside the loop and you are just getting one element of the first batch. Probably, you want to generate only one element per iteration of the while loop and apply that to your equation. If that is the case, you should remove the "Simulation Signal" express VI and use the Point-by-point VI (located at Signal Processing Pallette). There you can also find an integration VI that allow you to define the sampling time for your application.
    Also, the feedback node that you are using will introduce one sampling time to your simulation, which mean that, if your simulation and equations are not correctly setup to take that into account, your simulation will be incorrect. If you were using the Simulation Module, it would take care for your to do the correct integration, additional to allow using different solvers (like RK 4-5) to reduce the error on the integration.
    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions.

  • What are the current versions of Labview and Teststand

    Hello,
    i am currently downlading the current versions of teststand and labview for evaluation.
    In the Teststand-link i saw that it is called "Teststand 2012".
    1. But there was no version-information in the Labview-Download. Is this also version 2012?
    2. Are both things 32-bit-software?
    3. After i installed the evaluation-downloads - can they be activated with a key or do i have to install it again when the CDs arrive in my office?
    Thanks for help
    Solved!

    Thx for the links.

    Will there be any problems converting my existing Labview 8.5-Vis to the new Labview2012?
    Thank you
    You can have both the 32-bit and 64-bit installed.  Just remember your target when you build an exe.  64-bit compiled programs can only run on 64-bit machines.
    You should have no problem upgrading your code from 8.5.

  • "Fast" control system

    I would like to implement a control system using LABView and a DAQPad-6070E. Would it be feasible to try this, or is a real-time controller absolutely necessary?
    I assume it should be possible to read a single value from a channel and write a calculated value to an output and repeat this loop at the highest possible rate depending on the computer. So far I have not seen rates above 1000Hz. Is it possible to give an indication of what rates could be obtained with the non-realtime SW and HW versions.
    I was also thinking that using an external trigger source might help to get a constant sample period.
    Thanks for any advice
    Message Edited by GJLR on 12-04-2007 08:21 AM

    What kinds of thingies do you want to close your control loop around?  Do they really have the bandwidth to benefit from a > 1kHz control loop?  Are there hazards if Windows messes up your loop timing and they go unstable?   The more it's crucial to maintain continuous control and the higher the control loop rate, the less you can hope for a Windows-based solution.
    However, as Ben mentioned, with careful coding you can get Windows to run at 1 or 2 kHz.  I'd expect you could meet that timing for >95% of the loop cycles.  But some of the misses could easily miss 10's of control loop cycles.

  • Create a NI based PID control system? Advice?

    I need to make a new PID control system using labview. I have a magnetically levitated shaft, spinning at 80,000 RPM and is subject to axial loads.
    It is a pretty simple. One axial input, one output to an amplifier.
    I need it to be fast, dynamic and stable.
    Does labview have these capabilities? I suppose I would need to scan the one input channel continiously, and be continuously writing a PID derived control signal which would need to be smooth, obviously not notchy.
    What hardware has the capabilities to read and write continuously and have the speed i require. I suppose 20khz input would be fast enough.
    I have a current sytem that died on me (motherboard failure) but the computer which is a 486!, the card, the software are all SUPER old, and no one knows how to use it anymore. The DSP card company has been purchased several times and is totally unsupported.
    So:
    What hardware do you recommend?
    What software? LV + PID toolkit?
    Anything else?

    FPGA is a reconfigurable logic, I can describe it as a kind of "programmable hardware", in the sense that the actual chip is defined in a high level description language, which define connections between logical block of the FPGA. Of course, you can find better definitions on wikipedia, i guess....
    Anyway, you don't need to care about how does it works: it matters that these devices are used in real-time, reliable acquisition.
    Real-Time is expensive, but consider that you can get discounts buying NI Developer suite, possibly buy one that includes Real-Time and PID module, check your country's sales representative.  In my company, we bought NI Developer suite "Control Edition", but it was about 2 years ago, nowadays, I don't know what similar product is offered by NI...
    Yes, since cRIO is meant for reliable DAQ, it can do continuous sampling 24/24, 7/7.  Only take care to write a reliable software in labVIEW!
    Hope it helps.... have a nice day!
