How to track position of motor using LabVIEW?

I have created a VI in LabVIEW that will allow me to control a motor to turn a certain number of degrees and then the motor will provide me with feedback on its final position. For example, I ask it to turn 180 degrees and it will output 180 degrees on the screen when it reaches its destination.
Is there a way to track the motion of the motor as it turns second by second? For example, at 1 second it is at 30 degrees and 2 seconds 75 degrees, etc. I would like to display this information in a chart/graph or table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can try use chart and wire its input with the output of the motor and put the whole in a loop.

Buy one together with that power supply and your problem is solved
What do you mean with "control the output voltage of the USB port" do you want to drive the motor directly from the USB port

How to draw the circle diagram of induction motor using labview

hi
i am trying to model the electrical machines using labview..
i want to know that is it possible to draw the circle diagram of induction motor using labview..........
if its possible then please suggest me the possible ways.
thanks

There may be better ways, but the method I used was to convert amplitude & angle to rectangular coords, then create an XY plot from (0,0) to those coords. (Or 1 plot for Voltage, 1 for Current, etc.) I would then just keep updating this plot and feeding it to the graph in a loop. The result was a slightly choppy looking but useable animation of the phase vectors.

am tried using TPE but its showing all the 3 rows as NULL in bam primary import database.
So please let know how can i achieve above issue.
Regards,
srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
Using TPE you cannot process repeating records. It doesn’t allow you to loop through your InvoiceDetails (repeating record), hence it shows null in tracked record. This
is one of the limitations when you use TPE.
This can be done using BAM API. If you use Orchestration or by writing a custom pipeline component you can use BAM API where you have the flexibility to loop through the
repeating record and insert each InvoiceDetails node as a record in your BAM activity. BAM API is the only option to track repeating items inside a message as separate activity instances.
Refer this MSDN article for more info:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa559527.aspx

Sinusoidal velocity profile of a stepper motor using labview

Hi I am trying to get sinusoidal velocity profile of the stepper motor using labview.
Could anyone please help me out...

I'm also really interested in this solution.
I think you could do it by controlling the velocity of the stepper with points (excel) or function maybe... but that's an idea...

How to power a motor using labview DAQ output signal

The power from labview is not enough to move a decent-sized motor (works with tiny one). Is there any electrical component/device that I can use to sort of increase it (something in between output from labview and the motor)?
Thanks

LabView is a software and does not supply any physical signals. To generate physical signals you need an interface board, NI has plenty of them which can be controlled via LabView. Anyhow, as you mentioned, digital i/o interfaces can handle currents in the mA range only. I think the best way to control motors via LabView and an interface board is using an additional relay driver board. Since relay contacts only switch power and do not supply any power you will need an external power supply matching the voltage and current specs of the motor.

Intesnisty and Position input analyzed using Labview

I have a motorized actuator which I want to first move using labview and also get feedback on its position using a DAQ card (NI-PCI-MIO-16E-1). I have a lock in amplifier which basically gives me voltage information through a GPIB card that I have. Now I need to implement a VI which can simultaneously do the following:
1) move the motor in steps.
2) get position feedback from the motor
3) get data from the Lock in amplifier
4) Plot a graph of position on the X and Voltage intensity on the Y
Advice, suggestions, comments or questions ?

How are you controlling the motor? Are you using a motion card? If you're not using a motion card, what hardware do you have and how is it all set up? Position feedback can be obtained from the DAQ card and the voltage information can be obtained from the GPIB card pretty easily. The examples found in the example finder are great places to start in order to get those two aspects down. If you can get those acquired, plotting them is also pretty easy and there are examples on that as well. Your main challenge will be with the motor so any additional information would help.

How to implement a callback function using LabView's Call Library Function Node?

I am trying to call a fuction from a SDK.dll library using the Call Library Function Node. The SDK was provided to
me and I do not have the source code, just the .dll and .h files.
The SdkSetPropertyEventHandler function has a callback fuction as one of its parameters. How do I implement the
callback using the CLF node? I am a good LabView programmer but this is my first time using the Call Library
Function Node. I have read all the info I can find on NI's web site and the discussion board but cannot figure
this one out. I am using LabView 8.6.
The SDK.h deacribes the function as:
// Function:   SdkSetPropertyEventHandler
SdkError SDKAPI SdkSetPropertyEventHandler(
            SdkCameraRef                    inCameraRef,
            SdkPropertyEvent                inEvnet,
            SdkPropertyEventHandler         inPropertyEventHandler,
            SdkVoid*                        inContext );
// Description:
//       Registers a callback function for receiving status
//          change notification events for property states on a camera.
// Parameters:
//       In:    inCameraRef - Designate the camera object.
//              inEvent - Designate one or all events to be supplemented.
//              inPropertyEventHandler - Designate the pointer to the callback
//                      function for receiving property-related camera events.
//              inContext - Designate application information to be passed by
//                      means of the callback function. Any data needed for
//                      your application can be passed.
//      Out:    None
// Returns:    Any of the sdk errors.
A separate header file called SDKTypes.h contains the following data:
typedef SdkUInt32 SdkPropertyEvent;
typedef SdkUInt32 SdkPropertyID;
typedef void       SdkVoid;
typedef struct __SdkObject*    SdkBaseRef;
typedef SdkBaseRef    SdkCameraRef;
SdkPropertyEventHandler
typedef SdkError ( SDKCALLBACK *SdkPropertyEventHandler )(
                    SdkPropertyEvent        inEvent,
                    SdkPropertyID           inPropertyID,
                    SdkUInt32               inParam,
                    SdkVoid *               inContext );

Basically you do not do that. LabVIEW does not know pointers and certainly not function pointers. What you should do instead is writing a C DLL that implements the callback and also exports a function to be called by LabVIEW that translates between the callback and a LabVIEW user event. Look for PostLVUserEvent() here on the NI site to find examples how to do that.

How to create fourier transform properties using labview

Hi everyone
i am a new user to Labview and i only have 2 weeks left to complete an assignment.
This assignment involves the implementation of the various types of fourier transform properties using Labview. These properties include linearity, time shifting, frequency shifting, time scaling,
I do not really know how to implement them using Labview
PLS HELP!!!
Thanks

i am refering to the fourier transform properties listed below:
A) time shifting
x(t-a) ------- > exp (-jwa) X(w)
For the time shifting property above, i have problem creating the exponential term using labview
B) time scaling
x(at)-----------> 1/a X (w/a)
C) Time convolution
Y(w) = F[h(t) * x(t)] = H(w)X(w)
where * stands for the convolution operation and F stands for fourier transform
Please provide diagrams if possible. Thank you
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!

How to measure PLL lock time using LabView?

Hi.
I have to measure PLL, especially PLL lock time, using LabView.
How can I do it?
Is there is some dedicated LabView Toolkit that can do PLL lock time measurement?
Thanks :-)

Hi Igor,
you want to measure the time it takes the PLL to lock in to a change in the source frequency?
So you need to measure the frequency and you need to know the state of the PLL. Then you can calculate the time the PLL needs to work.
