I am looking for Compact RIO system for PID control

Hi all,
I am looking for the CompactRIO system for PID control.
My system acquires two input data (0-10V) from two displacement sensors and sends one output signal (0-10V) to piezo-actuator at every step. And my target is the short settling time and the low overshoot.
I think that I need fast control system. So I am interested in CompactRIO. But I am not familiar with this sytem. Could you recommend the good control system for me?
The one important thing is that the time limiting step of my system is Piezo actuator (it's natural freq is 20kHz.) CompactRIO is much faster than the Piezo-actuator. I am not sure whether CompactRIO is good to my system or not.
Here is the CompactRIO system which I am interested in:
i) CompactRIO Reconfigurable Embedded System: cRIO-9004
ii) CompactRIO Reconfigurable Chassis: cRIO-9101
iii) I/O Module : AI : cRIO-9215 AO: cRIO-9263
Thank you so much,
Sungjin

Hello Sungjin,
CompactRIO should work great for your PID control system. Those I/O modules are the correct voltage range and the 1M gate FPGA backplane will be plenty for a single PID controller. You'll probably be able to get loop rates around 100kHz for analog PID control.
Keep in mind that the LabVIEW FPGA module includes PID examples that will cut down your development time considerably.

Vineet

How can I control 4 sets of compact RIO system with my host PC?

Hi all,
As the title.
I want to control 4 sets of compact RIO system at the same time.
I have written TCPIP connection for two PC before.
But I never program to connect more than one PC.
If I need to connect more than one PC, should I set the PC's connection port different?
Could you provide me an example?
Thank you a lot.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi StephenCh...,
you can calculate the transfer rate it depends on your network card. You'll find very good examples on that in the example finder, search for tcp/ip. You can use the server code on each of your cRIOs. Use the client to connect to your servers (cRIO), you only need to change the IP. If you need to connect to all at the same time, then you have to change the client program a bit, so that you are able to build four connections.
Where do you have problems? Did you already see the examples?

Visa Error in MAX for Compact RIO

Hi,
I have a compact rio I haven't used in a few months. In Labview 7.1 and since upgrading to 7.1.1, I can't
connect to the compact rio. In MAX, I can see the crio device. When I open up the device, I get a VISA error
under Devices and Interfaces . 0xBFFF00A7 (VI_ERROR_MACHINE_NAVAIL). I can't ftp or ping to the crio either.
I have NI-RIO 1.2.

Hi, Raltieri,
I noticed from the text that you sent that your cRIO controller has LabVIEW RT 7.1. Since you upgraded your host computer to LabVIEW 7.1.1, you will also need to upgrade the LabVIEW image on your controller to the same version. Try reinstalling the LabVIEW RT component into the cRIO controller (in MAX, under Remote Systems, under your cRIO >> Software), and just make sure that you select 7.1.1 as the version to reinstall. Most likely that is the problem.
Please let me know if that doesn't help.

Hi i wrote a java program for scanning a system for java.exe 's

hi ,
i wrote a program which scans the system for java.exe 's and then it captures them in a linked list and then i
iterate through it for "\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe and my aim is to return true in case the linked list contains the string "\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe" and stop scanning the system.
If the linked list does not contain "Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe" it should return false.
But my problem is the program is continuing to scan the system even if the linked list has "\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_08\\bin\\java.exe"
Any sort of help is appreciated.

Two entries for every technical system for XI in SLD

Hi,
Last weekend we had a patch upgrade in our Production env for SAP PI system.
After that we got the Cache error (Cache notification from Integration Directory failedError when accessing the System Landscape Directory) in RWB -- "Cache Connectivity Test -> IR -> ID -> Adapter Engines".
And
In SLD->Technical Systems->all (Adapter Engine, Integration Directory, Integration Repository, RWB).
e.g.:There are two Adapter Engines:
Adapter Engine on p80.p80xxxxx
and
Adapter Engine on p80.p80xxxxx\p80
Our Basis team contacted SAP for help & SAP has suggested as below.
"We compared the SLD->Technical Systems for QA (Q80) and PROD (P80), and found that for the production box (P80), each XI component is registered Twice.
Now as per the note 764176, we have to delete the entries in the SLD -> Technical Systems. And these will be re-created after a restart.
Could you please let us know whether these have been maintained for any special reason or we can go ahead and delete them."
If you have any idea if those two should be maintained or not, please suggest how to proceed.
Thank you & Best regards,
Farooq.

Hi Farooq,
I have faced the same issue and got resolved by 764176.
you can go ahead and implement the note 764176 which will resolve your issue.

Best design idea for parallel DAQ (via GPIB), PID control and watchdog system

Hello!
I am a starter programmer in LabView, I already understand the basic ideas, and design patterns, like producer/consumer, events state machine, functional global variables, and so on, so the basics...
I started a project a few weeks ago, and first I wrote and tested all of the necessary subvi-s for my project, like the ones initializing my GPIB devices (a Keithley mux and a dvm), controlling/reading out the measured voltage/resistancy values from them, subvi for my Static Analog Output card (I have to drive 7 analog output channels, 4 has to be PID controlled regarding to some of the measured values from the GPIB devices), and another subvi for the analogue card, sending TTL watchdog signals out to my experiment in every 2 seconds.
Any idea is welcomed about suggesting the best design pattern for my project.
The main features of my program would be:
After starting the user interface the program starts with a start-up state, initializes the DAQmx channels and the GPIB devices. The program starts to read out different values from the GPIB devices, including 4 temperature values in every 3 seconds.
In the same loop (?), using PID control, the program sets the DC voltage values of 4 channels (3 to heating wires, 1 to a Peltier-heat pump) on the Static Waveform Analogue output card, the remaining 3 values are constants.
I have to send digital TTL watchdog signal to some relays from the same output card, changing its state in every 2 seconds (not the same rate as the GPIB values are read out).
When the 4 temperatures and the power values regarding to the heating wires are equilibrated after a few hours, the program goes into another state, and signals to the user, that the measurement can be started. During a measurement, I write out all of the measured values to a TDMS file, and there is also some basic calculations "on the fly", like a moving average.
After the measurement done, the user can swap samples, and the program goes into the above state, waiting for equilibration . and so on...
Do you think I should use a Producer/Consumer pattern with events? Or someone would recommend me a better design idea?
Thanks very much!
ps.: I read out lots of values from the Keithleys, so I put them in a cluster. I made a small test vi (attached without the GPIB comm subvi-s), just to test the GPIB comm. So this is the recent state of my project. (all other subvi-s tested and ready to use as I wrote above, like the DAQmx output part)

Okey
I think it is a better approach if I work first, and after I ask
I go with small steps. For first, now I just want to make a DAQ analog output loop, and parallel a watchdog loop sending out TTL in every 2 seconds.
The main loop in my project will iterate with approx. 10-15 seconds.
I want to check in my watchdog loop, if my main loop hangs up (in that case the PID control stops, but the danger is if the output voltages stay on).
After some readings, I have decided to use a functional global variable.
I have attached the vi, can someone give me advice, what would be the good solution for this purpose?
(I know it is a bit silly what I messed up with the shift registers in the bottom loop, it was some experimenting).
Thanks in advance!

How can I make and wire reffercence signals(ramp,sine,square) to excite and evaluate the behaviour of the system wih PID control?

Dear all,
I am Tri, I am a beginer with LV program. Actually I used LV for my reasearch, I had tried wiht very simple thing but the problem arise because I am not familiar with LA. Why I know that problem is simple because I compare with MatLab that I had somtime used before.
I make a loop of PID control, It worked properly but I don't know how to make a refference signal to wire to the loop for excitating to evaluate the behaviour of the system. Please give me your help.
Thanks

Hi Tri,
I've employed the "simple PID.vi" without a problem, but your example is more complex. I think you use a Function generator to modulate DAQ inputs?
Perhaps someone else will be able to infer your intention and identify a flaw in the logic.
In case someone else wants to run your VI, it may help to build/attach an .llb (some sub-VIs are needed by the VI you atached.)
To build the .llb, save your VI with Development Distribution options (Alt-F,Alt-W) and attach the .LLB
1) \File\Save with Options
2) select Development Distribution
3) Save
4) choose "New VI Library"
But first, It would be helpful to us if you clean-up the code - straighten wire-paths, minimize bends in wires, and try to avoid "tall" diagrams. Scrolling diagrams up and down is "bad form". If scrolling is necessary, left&right is preferrable!
Cheers.
(and, for the record: in my previous post, Exitation would be wired to "Process Variable", Not "Set Point" (ouch!))
When they give imbeciles handicap-parking, I won't have so far to walk!

How to store data into a file from a host VI developed for Compact RIO

Hi,
I am new to the CompactRIo.I have developed a VI which runs on the FPGA(CompactRIO) which continuously monitors tha data from a system and i have developed a host VI to read the data and i am successfully getting the data into my computer and i want that data to store into a file.When i use the write to spreadsheet VI for writing into a file.The data is not written into file can anybody tell me why this is happening?

Hi,
The last one you said is working when i conected through it is working, whatever files i have used earlier are there.Thanks for that but i have few queries please answer me so that i acn proceed in my project.
1.As you said to connect to ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx i have seen some extra files along with my files waht are they? waether my data files are stored in flash memory of RT controller?if so, how to clear those files?
2.Suppose i want to clean up the flash memory of RT contrller i.e suppose i have deployed some file earlier , now i want to cleanup those i dumped into the memory how to do that?
3.How to disable the Application running on the RT controller when it powers on? i.e. when i switch on the power it should be connected but nothing hould be running on.
4.I mean at the end of the experiment when i stopped the host VI by pressing stop button weather application running on the RT controller will stop and weather FPGA VI runnibg on that also stop if not how to stop?
5.Suppose next time when i connect to ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx i dont want to keep earlier files there how to delete them?Because my doubt is if i am using the file name which is same as the prevoius one there is aproblem of appending the new data to the old file.?

Sorting files for distributed systems for Documaker

Hello,
I've been asked to research tools that will assist with fast sorting of files for the distributed systems for Documaker. Unfortunately, I have not had any exposure to Documaker so I'm starting from scratch. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Easy enough!
BCH files can be sorted by any number of means depending on what you would like to do and when you want to do it, and the complexity of your sorting requirements. Documaker includes some rudimentary sorting capabilities, but since there are so many other options available this is not something we have focused on as a desired feature. You can browse the system doc for more details on that. Otherwise... if you're running in multistep mode then you have access to the BCH file, in which case you can sort it using whatever is appropriate to your OS: MVS folks have syncsort, Linux folks have just about anything from perl to sort, Windows folks have a sort command as well. It so happens that those items I've mentioned are all solutions I've used for customers. If you're running single-step, then you won't likely have the BCH file available to use, and will have to write a custom rule in your CUSLIB for Documaker to sort. In this case, you would have to have access to a sorting application that provides an API. I've used Opt-Tech Sort for customers in the past, and it's definitely both affordable and powerful (and multiplatform).
NA and POL files generally do not require sorting and I would highly recommend that you steer clear of messing with those files unless you have a darn good reason to do so. Primarily you don't need to sort them because the print output is controlled by the BCH file so if you reorder the BCH, the print reflects that order. The NA file contains the variable data, and the POL file contains the forms and sections and recipients for the transactions.
Printstream sorting is an entirely different animal. I haven't been too involved with printstream sorting because it is both 3rd party and happens outside the Documaker realm, but I can tell you that most customers use facilities provided by their print controller (depending on the type of printer) or they use tools like StreamWeaver (in fact that's probably the best one IMO).
Hope this helps!
Andy
