Mass Flow Controller PS-54D

i am currently working on the device PS-54D Mass Low Controller. I am suppose to create and interface on Labview 7.0 to control the device. However, in the reference book of the device, there isn't any codes given for me to control the device. So i am wondering if you all have the codes that i need to write a program for this device.
Thank You.

Hi tyl,
What interface does the PS-54D Mass Low Controller use?  GPIB or serial?  There are some basic examples in LabVIEW to get you started with simple communication, and most instruments respond to commands like *IDN?, but you will need to speak with the manufactuer of the PS-54D to get a listing of function references for this particular device.  Good luck!

  • Connect to MKS Alta 1480 Device Net Mass Flow Controller

    I have a MKS Alta 1480 mass flow controller (MFC), MFC Manual, Labview 8.2 and NI PCI-CAN card.  I know have the MFC wired correctly because I can operate it using another program on the PC that used the deviceNet interface.  I want to talk to it via Labview.   Everything looks OK using measurement explorer.  I have the NI-DNET pallet.  I know the MACID.  I have downloaded the EDS from the manufacturer.
    Here is what I am lacking:  A general clue about the DeviceNet interface.  Is there any example code out there that could get me started?  Are there any tutorials on how to figure out the Dnet protocol?  I am used to serial devices command--> response.  I don't know anything about Class, Object, attirbutes.
    Thanks,

    Joe, you can read MFC Flow value from S-Analog Sensor Object.
    Class Id 49 (0x31), Instance Id 1 (0x01), Attribute Id 6
    (0x06)
    The default Data Type is Integer and Data Units is counts
    If you want read from assembly object, you will
    have establish polled IO connection, then use Read DeviceNet IO.vi to read
    flow.

  • Mks mass flow controller​s only giving 2 sig. figs. over deviceNet and labview

    We can only read  2 digits (before the decimal point) on an MKS deviceNet mass flow controller using Labview 2013.  Does anyone know a solution to increase the resolution on this device?  We should be able to read 3 digits past the decimal point.

    Hi David,
    Could you also specify the type of mass flow controller device?
    According to our engineer, we had the APIs to set the attributes of DeviceNet device, but the specific type of the device is required. Attached is the document of some device type. You could turn to page 75 to see there the S-Analog Sensor Object Attributes::FlowDataType could be Get/Set.

  • Mass flow controller

    hello,
    does anyone have or know of a vi that can be used to read and display mass flow of a gas?
    i have a mass flow controller(MFC) and it reads the gas flowing thru a pipe (or a tube, forexample). i want to be able to take the readings or signals from the MFC and display it on the front panel.
    does anyone have something(VI) of the sought that i can maybe modify to do what i'm trying to do?
    thanks
    -r

    A lot of MFC's have an analog out denoting the "is" value of the mass flow.
    Connecting this analog out (from the MFC) to an analog in of a DAQ card will allow you to record the values.
    This is an easy thing to do (If your MFC has a simple analog out), so I'm not sure if you'll find ready-made functions for it.

  • Producing a voltage that coresponds to a setpoint for a mass flow controller​.

    Hello,
    I have a mass flow controller that requires a voltage output signal from my DAQmx board (SCB-68) to maintain a setpoint.  This set point is a voltage that corresponds to the desired flow rate.  I have produced a scale for this linear controller but I do not know how to use it.
    I know how to create a vi that reads a voltage input, I can also write one that sends the same voltage input back throught the output.  I can not write one that sends a constant voltage output corresponding to a flow rate.
    Could somebody help me out with this?

    Hello,
    First, tp upload code (or any document) it is quite easy, just select the file, by clicking the "browse" button... see image below (I'm sorry it's all in french... 'cause I am french ! "Parcourir" means more or less "Browse" ) :
    About your app, well adding a channel doesn't require to duplicate the whole code... Developper are always trying to do things with the less code possible . Check VI attached and tell me if it matches your needs.

  • Mass Flow Controller Driver

    Hi,
    I have a Brooks 5850E MFC and a HART driver for it that used with LabView which I downloaded from NI.com. What hardware connection does this driver use to communicate LabView with the device (MFC)?
       Thanks

    Sorry but I think you as the user should know what hardware connection your device uses.

  • Device Manager displayed " Mass Storage Controller (Code 28)"

    Greetings to all Members
    I am using AMD 64 x2 3800+ processor. MSI mortherboard K8N Diamond. Graphic cards, two units, Geforce GTX6600GT. I am running on Window XP SP2. I have also updated the AMD latest drivers.
    I noticed each time I log on the computer, the computer would prompt "New Mass Storage Hardware Found" and prompt the wizard to install new found hardware.
    I went to device manager and noticed the device status display "This drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28). I have also carry out all the steps as suggested from the device manager menu. Mass Storage Controller location is: PCI Slot 9 (PCI 3, device 0, function 0 is displayed at the Mass Storage Controller Display. The device Instance ID display "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3132&SUBSYS_710A1462&REV_01\4&14AECDBO&0&0060.
    Try update driver option but to no success. Have all the driver systems (in the CD) that came together with the system installed as well. Again to no success in resoluting the problem.
    To my horror after installing the drivers that I have downloaded from MSI website for the said board.
    I notice the Virtual drive program failed to initialize.and the following messages were displayed during the installation of the website drivers for the said mortherboard:
    There was a problem installing this hardware

    Can someone please assist and provide me with some guidelines to resolve this problem.

    Hi Bas
    I manage to remove the yellow exclamation mark from the hardware, device manager by setting the Integrated Peripherals on Board Sil3132 mode from Sata to Raid.
    The Sata and Raid controllers is displayed and upon opening it up further, I noticed the following controllers are displayed:
    1 ) FarStone CDAWDM2001 SCSI Host Adapter.
    2)  Silicon Image SIL3132 SataRaid Controller.
    Do you think I have set the right thing? Your kind opinion on this. I am using BIOS version used is 1.A

  • PID Troubles on a Flow controller???

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble using PID control on an flow valve that requires a 0-12VDC power source.  My setup includes an Agilent 34970A with a mulitfunctional module to output power to a Kepco power supply which ouputs power to the flow controller.  The only way I can get PID to work is if I use a very small Gain such as (0.2), an Integral Time of (-.49) and a Derivative Time of (.005). It seems to dial in the flow meter within 2-3 minutes but it doesn’t seem right to put a negative value in for the Integral Time though??   I'm wondering if it has something to do with the hysteresis of the flow meter. Have you guys heard of anything like this happening with PID on a control valve?  Please let me know.
    Thanks,  Jeff

    Hi
    I am trying to write a simple code on Having a Loop control on a flowmeter. I wrote 2 codes one involving a P control and one Involving a Differnce in the set Point to the Actual output.
    The idea is to control a flowmeter based on the pressure of flow . The Pressure measurement gives a Voltage output and the valve need a Current input so i need to control flow using desired Voltage output. But my code with the P control doesn not function as desired. ANd the code which uses just a differnce in a loop seems to work fine but for the fact that it never touches the desired value . it keeps oscilatting around the desired set point.
    Could anyone help me set right the P Control ?

  • Page flow controller - instance variable thread safe?

    I have page flow controller that is a subclass of org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.PageFlowController runing weblogic 921. The essence of my question is: is instance variable of page flow controller thread safe?
    Here are the details. I have an instance variable “status” that stores the status of the patient, which is stored in the request. It sets the status with after the patient status is retrieved from database. The set method is not synchronized.
    This works fine during normal test. But it failed during load test. Does a page flow controller instance shared among different requests? If so, how can I store the status for each request?

  • [ms-1719/gx700] - windows 7 64bit - mass storage controller driver missing

    Hi,
    I have a question about finding/installing the mass storage controller driver, after a clean install of win7 sp1 64bit (home edition).
    I bought a new drive (Seagate ST9500420AS), onto which I installed the OS.
    I thought the OS itself was supposed to install this driver?.....I looked at Seagate's site and they say the same thing. For good measure I used the "live update 5" MSI utility to see if they could provide it for my mobo....nothing useful came up there, and also looked at their page for my laptop model (GX700) no such drivers available either....neither for XP/Vista, let alone win7 64bit.
    After installing the OS I also went out to Intel's site and downloaded/installed the latest chipset drivers for my mobo/chipset as well.....that didnt fix it.
    so question is, where can I find this if none of the above worked??.
    here's my detailed specs page:
    http://speccy.piriform.com/results/wrsR2VbtVA042hKxLkCy1sR
    thanks,
    paul

    guys,
    thanks a lot for the quick replies.
    @Stu:
    I was actually wondering about those...if those micro reader drivers were what I needed...thanks for confirming and point at the x64 version. I'll put them on pretty soon, see what happens.
    @Henry,
    no, I wasnt aware about that at all.....but now that you mentioned it, it makes sense, the difference between my old sata1 and the new sata2. I am pretty inexperienced when it comes to messing w/ hardware, so the question is where would I get a jumper block like that?
    also if I leave it as I have for the last 2 months since I had the new HD, what could happen w/out our the jumper block?....data loss/corruption, anything like that or worse??.....just wondering if it'd be ok for me to leave it as is, or if there are any issues that can come up, for which it'd be worth for me to get the jumper and install it as you mention.
    also if not having this jumper does cause any issues, I was wonder if it could cause certain blank-out crashes that I've been having, which seemed so far to be related to vidcard.....but not sure if this difference between sata1 and sata2 could actually be causing these....here is the thread for that if you have any thoughts...

  • Need mass storage controller for Equium A110-147

    Hello. I have an Equium A110-147 running windows7 ultimate with 2g of ram and a 500 g hard drive.
    In other devices in device manager I am informed that my mass storage controller drivers are not installed. When I try to update the drivers I am told the drivers cannot be found on my computer or on the web.
    I would apreciate some help on this if possible please.

    Hey,
    If you dont post the vendor and device ID its hard to say what driver you need
    Theoretically Mass Storage Controller could be related to internal card reader module. You can download it on official Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    But I think you must search for Vista drivers because Equium A110 doesnt support Windows 7, only Vista.
    And you must search in *Archive* on driver download page because its an older model. ;)

  • Labview programming to convert weight measurement into mass flow

    Hello,
    I have continuous analog input measurement from weight scale. I want to convert the weight measurement to mass flow measurement.
    E.g.:
    1st minute weight measurement: 200kg
    2nd minute weight measurement: 300 kg
    3rd minute weight measurement: 350 kg
    and so on.
    I want to convert those weight into mass flow which is
    1st mass flow300-200)keg/1min = 100kg/min
    2nd mass flow: (350-300)kg/1 min = 50 kg/min
    and so on.
    So the weight and should be updated every minute, whatever the time value of while loop iteration.
    Can somebody give solution of this case with labview programming? (structure in block diagram)
    Thanks,
    Eko

    Hi Eko,
    is this some kind of homework?
    Well I suggest to use two shift registers to hold mass and time, then two subtract nodes to get the difference of current and old vlaue for both and finally a simple divide to get the mass flow...
    Look here to get the basics!

  • A flow rate by lose of mass (flow: g/min. or g/hours) with the balance reading?

    I am using a Mettler Toledo balances to feed a reactor. Balance vi gives me actual (current) weight. How do I get a flow rate by lose of mass (flow: g/min. or g/hours) with this balance reading?
    Attachments:
    Balances Weight.vi ‏26 KB

    Put the current reading in a shift register. Subtract it from the previous reading. Divide by the time between the readings.
    This type differentiation tends to be noisy so you may need to do some smooothing of the data.

  • Mass Flow Meter

    Hi all,
    I am using PCI 1710 board to control fuel cells vlaves and Mass Flow Meter. 
    Could any one help in getting the mass flow meter show me the Flow rate of the Gas.
    I am using Burkert 8006 Mass flow meter and I wanna connect the MFM to the PCI 1710 and jus want to show me the flow rate. Could any one tell me, to which pin should i connect the MFM to, it has a 15 Pin Sub HD Socket. (Currently taking output from the Process Value Output and Process value ground and connected to the PCI1710 A11 and A10(Analog)). Thank. Awaiting your response.
    Regards,

    What connections do you have to this device? According to the manual you should have a 9 pin D sub connector for the 8006 model. If you have a 15 pin D sub I will try the 15 Pin D sub connections that are in the book on page 7.
    If this does not work I am not sure what to tell you. It should use RS-232 with these connections. Did you get a MFM that has communication protocols?
