Motion controller for globe E-2620 motor

What is the correct NI controller/motor drives for a pair of Globe Motor E-2620
DC Permanent Magnet Motors with Optical Encoder?
Motor Specs:
P/N 537A244-3
24VDC Motor Voltage
3.1A Max Rated Load

Thanks
Russ Smith

Hello Russ,
Thank you for your interest in National Instruments. For the DC Permanent Magnet Motor you specified you will need one of our brushed DC servo motor drives: 7652 (2 Axis of control) or the 7654(4 Axis of control). The controller hardware you need will be dependent on what other features you need for your motion system you are building. The two options for controlling these types of motors are the 7340 series and the 7350 series. To see the differences in these two types of motion controllers go HERE. Let us know if you have anymore questions. Thanks and have a great day.

Driver for MM4000 series (motion controller) for labview 6.1 (gpib)

Hello,
I need the instrument driver for a newport motion controller MM4006.
I found the driver for MM4000 series, it could be ok, but I need it for labview 6.1 and not for labview 7 or 8.
Is it possible to find this driver for older version of labview than 7 or 8?
Thanks
Best regards.
Ludovic

Good idea, I'm not sure of the result, but... Here is the zip file (aviable here).
(oups, you were faster ^^)

Standalone Motion Controller

Hi guys,
I would like to purchase a standalone motion controller for 6 existing stepper motors and their drivers. By standalone I mean that it will be controlled via Usb or TCP/IP and located outside of the PC.
Also, I would like to be able to build a Labview application for it, so Labview drivers and support are important.
As a reference, the Parker ACR9000 meets most of our demands, only it does not have Labview drivers coming with it.
The Datasheet for the ACR9000 is given here: http://www.parkermotion.com/literature/pdf/ACR9000_brochure307.pdf
Could anyone please suggest a suitable hardware ?
Thanks.
Michael.

Michael,
See the attached zip folder for an example of how to write command-line instructions to the ACR9000 via LabVIEW. I think this is what you are referring to. I learned an important lesson yesterday - have the Parker people send you the most up-to-date manuals and help files, because the ones online are a bit old and do have some errors in them.
See the VI Properties-Documentation part of the attached VI for information on what the default command does. The key for me was learning that I have to assign a "Master" through the ActiveX terminal (i.e., "prog 0", "prog 1") - otherwise the commands you send seem to do nothing at all.

PCI-7344 motion controller encoder reset problem

I'm using a PCI-7344 motion controller for my application. I'm currently working on simple display of position and velocity using an encoder. I am able to read the encoder pulser, but I am unable to reset it. I want the encoder pulses to be display continously till I press a reset button on the screen. After pressing the reset button on the front panel, the encoder count should become zero and start counting again till I press stop button. Kindly give me a simple example of encoder reset using push button. Thanks.

This should do what you are looking for. I am not at the computer that has a motion controller card in it, so I have not tested it.
It resets the encoders for Axis 1 and Axis 2. Unless you have a different configuration for encoders and axes, it should work.
Hope that this helps,

How do I get labview for linux to send out ascii code to a motion controller?

I have posted part of this problem but I will now try to clearify things. I have an x-y stage that needs motion control. I have to run the motion controller from within a linux system (RedHat 7.1) due to others in the research area. I have found a motion controller card (PCI) that will run under linux. This card is not National Instruments. I understand that they do not have drivers for their controller cards. This other card comes with the companies own software that uses ASCII codes to move the motors on the stage. I was hoping to create a program that could call those ASCII codes to move the stage. An example would be if a user wanted to have the stage move to the right he would press a b
utton on the screen instead of typing in whatever ASCII could that move to the right happens to be. How would I go about programming something like this? I have heard of others doing things like this but I am unsure of how to program labview to send out ASCII codes to a PCI card to move motors.

Look in the manual to see get familiar with the sequences of codes you
need to write, and more importantly, where you write them to. I suspect
a memory location, but it could be a socket or port.
Each of these locations will have a slightly different way of accessing
it. Once you know, search devzone for how to do it on linux, or post
back here.
After you can send the codes to the right location, you probably want to
build a state machine that simplifies the interface and prevents certain
actions from taking place. Now determine which buttons or
keys perform
which actions and use either the event structure or the older polling
for control changes to affect state changes in the state machine.
I'm summarizing here assuming that you know what a state machine is and
why you'd want to use it. If I'm assuming too much, do some research
and post again with more specific questions. Also be sure to look at
example VIs as they show how to respond to UI actions.

Connecting Hall Effect Sensor as an encoder(feedback) for PCI 7356 Motion Controller

Hi,
We have Labview 2010 and the following hardwares for testing a specific motor (a brushless DC motor):
NI PCI 7356 Motion Controller
NI UMI 7774
AKD Servo Drive P00606
However, I met some difficulty when wiring the motor to the motor drive(and controller). In the manual, it says PCI 7356 needs encoder signals as the feedback. But our motor doesn't have a built-in encoder. It has three Hall Effect Sensors, which we plan to use as an encoder. If we feed the hall sensor signals as the encoder phase signals (Phase A, B) to the drive/controller, I wonder if Labview or PCI 7356 (after an appropriate configuration) can adjuct the phase (from 120 degree to 90). Does it work even without the adjustment?
If the above doesn't work, can I feed only one Hall Effect sensor signal as Encoder Phase A and don't feed anything to Phase B (since I only need control the motor speed in one direction)? Will PCI 7356 or Labview recognize the signal and function accordingly?
If it doesn't work as well, could I use motor's Back EMF as a feedback (this motor produces a decent sinusoidal back EMF)? If I can, how should I configure the hardware and wire the motor to controller accordingly?
If all three above don't work, could you suggest a way to solve this problem?
Thanks so much for your help.
Best,
Chen

Hey Chen,
I have comfirmed that the PCI card will not be able to do feedback with the hall effect sensors. However, you could do that with our NI 951x modules if you run it in FPGA mode. You would need an extra IO module to set up the hall effect sensors with, but you could effectively customize your control and your feedback on the FPGA board immediately.
For your other post, I am not sure you can create a time constraint on the move, I believe that when you define a motion, you would need to define the number of steps or the position and not the time. If you are running the motor at a specific velocity for an amount of time, you would need to set that as the number of revolutions and not time.
I hope this helps.

Sepper motor control WITHOUT motion controller

Hello
I am attempting to control two stepper motors in a blened motion move. I can currently drive one of the motors seperately and also change direction and speed.
I know there are motion controllers that can be used but they are unavailable to me as I am in college. (PLEASE NO ONE SUGGEST MOTION CONTROLLERS)
I know it maybe difficult but that is the way I have to do it. My plan is to use the motors in conjuction with a camera which acquires an image and I want the motors to follow the outline of what ever is in the image. The project is very similar to a X-Y Plotter except I will not be plotting anything, I just want the motors to move.
Thank you
Bye

Hello
I am using Labview 2010 with two RS stepper motors and I want to move them at the same time. There will be no circular motions just straight lines. The cooridinates that are to be supplied to the motors are acquired from an image processing VI. I am taking an image of a line which always leads to the centre of the screen. My plan is to have the motors follow that line.
I have included a VI that I am working on, it includes the image capture part of the program and then the co-ordinates for the motors to follow. These co-ordinates are designed to be used with a motion controller. I do not know how to use these co-ordinates to drive the motors without a controller.
Bye

Are there any simple LabVIEW motion program for Newport MM4006 controller

My system consists of a PC with a IEEE488.2 from NI that connects to 2 Newport MM4006 controllers, which, in turn control a high-precision stage.
I would like to know if you can provide me with any simple motion programs in LabVIEW. Since I am starting to learn motion programming, I would like to know if there are any existing LabVIEW VIs that allow easy inputting of the motion commands.
I am having some trouble in ordering each motion segment's commands in LabVIEW environment, so I guess some examples might help me to clarify the correct syntax and logic in LabVIEW. Right now, I am using mostly the SendCommand sub VI in the MM4006 package downloaded from National Instruments to issue the seque
nce of the commands that are supposed to be executed one after the other in order to perform a specific path. Do you know if there exists any other bette way of issuing a long sequence of the motion
commands?
Alos, can FlexMotion be used for my system? What are the requirement for usign FlexMotion in LabVIEW. Is it the best way to program a motion VI for my system?

The FlexMotion VIs can only be used with our FlexMotion controllers, not GPIB devices. For your Newport controllers, the best thing to use is the instrument driver that you downloaded off of our website. This code was contributed to our website so we don't have any example programs to go with it. I looked on Newport's website and they mentioned that they had sample code for this controller. You might want to contact them and see what they have.

Creating Labview VI for Newport's ESP6000 motion controller

I am working on creating a Labview VI for ESP6000 motion controller (Newport). I want to move to stages independently one by one and acquire synchronized data from the analog input of the controller during the motion of the one of the stages. If there is anyone working with Labview on ESP6000, I will be glad to dicsuss common issues, obstacles, sub vi's etc.
ceyhun

We built a test station for an automotive component with the ESP6000. The biggest limitation we ran into was the 1000-sample buffer capacity of the analog input. We were hoping that it would behave like the NI DAQ boards. It was not our choice to use the ESP6000. The customer supplied it. The whole setup cost in excess of $9,000. The NI equivalent would be about 2/3 that much. Anyway, Newport supplies a driver that does work. It takes some work to get everything going properly though.

How to use LabVIEW FPGA on Custom FPGA board other than NI products .....Also how to develop RTx DLL for a customised motion controller hardware

I'm using RTx, LabVIEW RT and LabVIEW FPGA.
The GUI is windows based. The motion control and FPGA are RTx based.
Is there any way to develop device drivers for the custom hardware in RTx. For example motion controller hardware, FPGA hardware, PCI hardware.
Is there a possibility to use custom FPGA boards to use with LabVIEW FPGA.
Please send me some links
Thanks

Take life as it comes! you may never know what's gonna happen Tommorrow

CODE WARRIOR Hello. I believe this question was answered in a previous post. Please let us know if you have any new questioins or if you need some clarification.
You are able to develop device drivers for your custom hardware using the NI Measurement Hardware Driver Development Kit.
However, it is not possible to use custom FPGA boards with LabVIEW FPGA. The FPGA boards have to be one of our R Series boards. Here are some links that should shed some light on the Measurement Hardware DDK.

Warning while loading example VIs for XPS motion controller

Hi,
I'm new to Labview. I want to control the XPS motion controller using Labview and I wanted to get started with the examples provided by XPS along with the drivers. But I get a warning while loading the example. I have attached a screenshot of it. Please help.
Also, opening the example opens just the front panel. How do I open the bloack diagram of the example VI?
Thank you.

That warning is nothing to be worried about -- it just means that things were found in a new location, which is normal when you move code around. Once you save the project it should go away.
To look at the block diagram, use Window - Show Block Diagram, or simply Ctrl+E.
Good luck!

PXI 7344 motion controller as a DAQ device for ELVIS

Hi,
Is there a way to reconfigure a PXI-7344 motion controller with its two 68-pin connectors so as to use it as a DAQ device that would receive the signals from a NI ELVIS workstation. The 7344 has a "motion I/O connector" and a "digital I/O connector". Analog outputs are even possible if I remember well, as well as digital.
Thanks

Hello,
The card does has some analog input and outputs. I would check the manual here: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370838b.pdf. The DAQmx API with a DAQ card is going to be much better than interfacing with a motion card, but you should be able to read off it at the least.

How can I use one motion controller to control two robotic independently?

the help document says :
Note Configuring and clearing buffers is a processor-intensive operation on the motion controller that requires the allocation and deallocation of memory. You should configure and clear buffers only when motors are not moving and onboard programs are not running. For example, if you wish to execute three simultaneous contouring operations on axis 1, axis 2, and vector space 1 (with axes 3 and 4), you should first configure all three buffers before starting any of the operations. You can start the contour operations independently, and at different times, but should wait until all operations are complete before clearing any of the buffers.
and i tried to conduct two contouring operation on two vector space. and tried to clear or configuring buffer for one vector when another one is still moving. so that i can start or end the movement at any time i want,and it is ok.no error. but when i tried add a buffer breakpoint output along with each vector movement. the bp doesn't work if the other vector is running . is there anyway to solve this problem.

I think you've misunderstood what the dns attribute is for. The dns attribute returns the hostname of the client accessing your website, not the hostname of the website that linked to your website.
For example, when someone using the Comcast ISP goes to a malicious website at example.com that loads images from your website at www.amigoo.net, the dns attribute will be something like "c-1-2-3-4.ca.comcast.net", not "example.com". ACLs are used for authentication and authorization of clients (not the websites those clients chose to visit), and they don't provide the functionality you're looking for.
If I understand correctly, you want to prevent websites other than amigoo.net from linking to files in your d:/webserver/imat/pics_upload directory. You can achieve this adding the following lines to your obj.conf configuration file:
<Object ppath="d:/webserver/imat/pics_upload/*">
<Client referer="*~*amigoo.net">
PathCheck fn="deny-existence"
</Client>
</Object>
