Question of Requirements for Servo Project (Beginner to Motion Control in NI)

Hello, 
I need to automate the rotation of an object while measuring the resistance/required torque and rotation angle. This should be achievable with a servo motor with torque feedback, if I've been informed correctly. I will then need to compare the torque vs. angle curves and produce some kind of output depending on that analysis.
I'd like to ask from those more experienced:
I have experience in LV so I would like to have that as the programming environment. What other components will I need to control a servo in this fashion (with feedback control and the ability to send a digital output dependant upon the results of my analysis)? Any recommendations? 
Thank you. 

Thanks for the response.
I see now. I didn't know this holds for servos as it does for DC motors.
To reiterate:
In essence I need a system to do the following:
1. When triggered by existing PLC system to "GO", begin.
2. Actuate servo or stepper a certain # of revolutions, measure/calculate torque with T=KI proportionality.
3. When revolutions finished, go back. Analyze Torque vs. angle curve. 
4. Depending on result of (3), either send PLC system "TRUE" or "FALSE". 
That is essentially all. this system would fit between two stations of an existing PLC system. I want to program the servo or stepper control with LV. 
However, I don't know where to begin. What would one need? Should I use a stepper or servo? In addition to the controller and servo/stepper, what else do I need?

  • New  Decimal Notation Format Required  For Indian Projects

    Respected Members,
    As at the user level or tcode SU01 only three decimal notations are provided.
    But for country India the decimal notation format is totally different.
    Given decimal notation format is
    1,234,567.89
    And the Required Format For India is
    1,23,456.78
    Becoz we mention the Rupees in this format only.
    And this second format is not available in SPRO also .
    How to create the desired decimal notation and add the corresponding functionality.
    And if we use the given format (1,234,567.89) then when we converting the amount in words through Function module
    SPELL_AMOUNT ,it is not converting properly even though we have maintain the entries in View V_T015Z.
    Suppose our amount is 1,00,000 that is One lakh but it will show in the output  ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND.
    I know that there is another function Module HR_ch_ something to convert in words according to indian currency.
    But it does not solve the issue properly.
    THis DECIMAL NOTATION format for Indian Projects is a BIG MESS.
    So kindly tell me any solution or it is the drawback of SAP.
    So that we can ask SAP to append this Decimal Notation and required Functionality for the Indian Projects.
    Kindly Send Your Valuable answer and Try To Make clear picture and SAP Technical People if Reading this thread then kindly give stress on the REQUIRED DECIMAL NOTATION.
    THANKS A LOT.

  • VAT Tax determination- question about "Requirement" for Table-Is mandatory?

    Hi everybody,
    I am having problems to determine the appropriate VAT tax percent in some cases in Mexico.
    In Mexico for billing at the border with other countries the VAT tax percent is 11% and for billing inside the country the VAT tax percent is 16%. For determine the VAT tax percent the sequence access is MWST and is assigned to the condition type MWST.  For cover the border cases we create a table 989 with the fields: Distribution Channel/Plant and VK11 is fill out with this information. With these parameters is possible to determine successfully the VAT percent of 11% at border sales point.
    The problem that I have is related to the u201Crequirementu201D assigned to the table 989: Distribution Channel/Plant. This table has assigned a standard requirement number 7- Domestic Business and when billing to a customer with address of MX (Mexico) as LAND1 at general data section of customer master data, the VAT tax percent of 11% is obtained successfully, because all the fields of the table are filled. But when billing to a customer with address of US ( United States of America) as LAND1 at general data section of customer master data, is not possible to obtain the correct VAT tax percent of 11% even all the fields of the table are filled.
    I do not know if the problem is the requirement number 7- Domestic Business, but if I change for the requirement 8- Export Business then the opposite is occurring. For US customers the VAT tax percent is determinate successfully and for MX customers not, because the fields of the u201Crequirement u201Care not filled.  
    So, I am wondering if:
    1.     Would be necessary to create a new requirement for combine the 7- Domestic Business and 8- Export Business requirements or exist one like this? I do not need to conditioning anything
    2.     What happen if I left in blank the requirement field, I mean if I do not assign anything. I was doing testing for both customers and the VAT tax percent was determined correctly. But I do not know if is correct do not assign a u201Crequirementu201D to the table of the sequence of access MWST.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    OK I think I understand but here is where I am at now. I originally created a regulation that requires a license when shipping to certain countries out of the EU. I set the regulation as an Export reg did all the necessary config and was able to assign licenses automatically where needed.
    Has I was testing the solution I could not find sales docs or deliveries for some of the materials and finally found out they are being moved on NB PO's.
    So I changed the reg to include imports etc., classified with import control class etc. but I am seeing a couple things that don't make sense and tells me my config isn't quite right.
    I finally do see that the system at least recognizes the new legal reg in the screening now. before this it had not. But it is still telling me it can't find any relevant country.
    The other thing the document itself only shows under Display Existing Export Documents even though in the log it says it's an import document and when I go to the Import log there is no data.
    Before I realized there was a note to change the Import to export on transfer I assigned the PO types to export orders and I am thinking that's why they are showing in the export list but I woul have tought that it would say it's an export doc which it doesn't.
    Any ideas?

  • Solution for Low-Cost Single-Axis Motion Control?

    Hello,
      I am currently researching the options that NI has available for low-cost linear actuators.  I am looking to replace the functionality of a pneumatic solenoid with a linear actuator.  I would like to create a system that uses strictly NI hardware and software.  The system should be capable of the following:
    Push an object with a maximum force of 500LB
    Max stroke of 1 foot
    Ability to monitor and control the position of cylinder (how far to extend preset)
    Ability to stop/reverse the travel at any point along the stroke
    Ability to control the velocity of the cylinder (preset)
    The parameters for velocity and stroke length (0-12") would be set before the actuator begins to move, hopefully from a LabVIEW operator interface.  These would not be changed on the fly.  Any reccomendations would be welcome!
    Thanks

    I suggest first deciding what motor you want to use.  After you choose a motor, you can choose a drive.
    NI offers two drives - the MID-765x for servo motors and MID-760x for stepper. motors.  You can then connect the drive to an NI motion controller via a cable.  If the specifications of these NI drives (see manuals) are not compatible with your motor, you can use a 3rd party drive instead.  If you use a 3rd party drive, you will need to purchase a breakout box to connect an NI motion controller's signals to the 3rd party drive.  NI offers two breakout interfaces - the UMI-7764 for a screw terminal interface and the UMI-7774 for a D-sub interface.
    The NI motion controllers that I would recommend are the 7330 (for stepper only), 7340 (stepper/servo), and the 7350 (stepper/servo).  The NI-Motion driver will allow you to command the motor to move to specified positions dynamically and monitor the current position.  You can also set velocity constraints or set the velocity directly.
    You can find more information on all the NI hardware that I have mentioned on the NI Motion Hardware page.  This page lists features for the hardware and provides links to product pages (which contain links to the product manuals).

  • Security question feature required for password reset

    Hi,
    When ever SAP user forgets his password and he wants to reset his password, We need an option in logon screen to request the user to enter the answer for the security question and when he enters the correct answer, his ID should get reset and a new password should be mailed to his email id.
    Appreciate your Ideas on this one.
    Thanks

    Wild solution...
    1) Create a New User ID, which will be used for Just resetting the password based on the security question. This ID will have a password which everybody will know.
    This ID will have only few authorizations.
    2) Create a Custom Program which will take the User ID and the Question. Also some way of storing the Answer in some table (encrypted).
    Based on the ID, the question of the user will be displayed. Based on the Input by the user, the answer will be checked.
    3) If the answer is correct, reset the password and send a mail to the user id of the user. (Solution for resetting the password needs some analysis) The custom table will store user id, question, answer and the email id to which the email has to be sent.
    Reward Points if useful.

  • CBR v VBR for shorter projects

    Hello everyone,
    Just a general question really. For short projects under 60 minutes, is there any reason at all to use VBR settings, when you can set a pretty high bitrate (between say 7.0 and 7.4Mbps) using CBR. I would have thought that logically, encoding all material at a constantly high bitrate should yield better results (on short projects) than having some material encoded at a lower average under VBR settings.
    Also, if the maximum bitrate advised for some DVD players is around 7.4Mbps, why does Compressor allow higher settings than this under its preset for 90 minute best quality 2 pass VBR, namely 6.2 ave with 7.7Mbps peak. I'm puzzled why the application provides an option to excede the recommended max bitrate - wouldn't this 7.7Mbps setting cause potential playback problems?
    Do any of you amend this 90 minute preset to give even higher average and maximum encoding settings under 2 pass VBR for projects under 60 minutes, and if so, what sort of settings have you pushed it up to, and have you experienced any playback glitches on DVD players at those higher settings.
    Most of my encodes are of sub 60 minute projects and I want to know for sure that I am doing the correct thing in encoding them at say 7.2Mbps using CBR. I assumed VBR is used on longer projects to give difficult passages more headroom, while lowering the overall average to give a smaller file size, but is there another reason for using VBR that I am not seeing?
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Alan

    Compressor allows for 7.7 max and a very high 6.2 average because those numbers are safe for replicated (aka factory-pressed) discs. It's the real-world issue that DVD-Rs have more playback variables (the exact dye used on the disc effects the lasers on players differently, in particular) that leads to the recommendation not to exceed 7.5 max for DVD-Rs. (In particular, higher-end players, in my experience, choke of high-bit rate DVD-R/+Rs.)
    As for optimum settings, I typically use 2-pass VBR Best, 4.5 average and 7.5 max for 95% of my encodes (from as long as 100 minutes to as short as 30 seconds). MPEG-2 encoding, in an ideal world, would have the average bit rate be half the max, but a 3Mbps difference is a good real world compromise. If you're doing anything with less than a 1Mbps difference, you're better off doing a CBR encodes. When I do go CBR, it's 5.5 Mbps but even then, I always use Dolby Digital audio. (If I have to go with AIFF audio, I don't use a bit rate higher than 4.5Mbps.)

  • Need an Instrument Drive for Elmo motion control products.

    Hello,
    I am going to use a Bassoon servo drive from Elmo Motion Control to control a voice coil.  I  haven't found an Instrument Driver for Elmo through my LavVIEW program or on their website.  Does an Instrument Drive for Elmo products exist? 
    Thank You!

    Hello JMJ,
    Here are my answers to your questions:
    1.  Is it possible for me to communicate with the Basic Serial Read
    and Write example and not develop an Instrument Drive?  I see that the
    write VISA VI takes a string and converts it and sends it to the
    control card and the read VI receives a signal and converts it.  Is the
    conversion converting from the Elmo language to the ASCII code?  If I
    don't write an Instrument Drive will I have limited capabilities?You could use the serial example to write your entire program.  If you only need a handfull of commands, then this is probably the most straighforward for you to get going.  Everytime you use the VISA Write, the ascii values are written on the serial lines and transmitted to your device.  Your device reads and interprets these commands and acts depending on what the command is.  Some command may change a setting in the instrument.  Some other command may actually ask for the instrument to write back some data.  In this case, you need to have a VISA Read after the write to be able to read the data into your computer.
    2.  I was informed that there is an Instrument I/O Wizard that would
    potentially be easier to use and program than an Instrument
    Drive.  What is your opinion on such matter?  Could I use either or
    neither?You can definitely use the Instrument I/O Wizard to help you .  This wizard really helps in parsing the data  received from your instrument.  You can look this tutorial if you want to learn more about  it.   You could use either one.  I suggest you try both these methods and see which one seems more obvious to you. 
    3.  If I develope an Instrument Drive are all the seperate commands seperate subVIs?    
    A LabVIEW instrument driver usually has a set of VIs with specific functionality.  For example, you will have one subVI that will initializes the instrument.  This subVI may send 1 to 5 (or more) commands, depending on what you need to initialize your instrument.  You can then have one VI that set's an attritube.  This one would only require sending one command.   You can look at this tutorial for developping a complete instrument driver.  However, keep in mind that this may not me necessary for your application.
    I suggest you first look at what functionality you need.  Then take a look at what commands this will require.  You will then be able to plan out your program a little better.  I also suggest you post all this information on the forum, so that we may be able to help you with more specific details.
    Have a great day.

  • EREC: Requirements for E-Recruiting Project

    Hello Experts,
    I'm working in a client who has several requirements for an E-Recruiting Project, since I'm not an expert in this module, I would like to share these requirements willing to get inputs from you for I begin my job on the right track:
    1 - How can I feed automatically position postings to targeted job boards (CareerBuilder, Monster, etc.) and popular social media sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook?
    2 - Is there a mobile friendly application which allows position searches and applications?
    3 - Can we have an option for Agency Access through the Career Site, which means Approved Recruitment Agencies are able to submit candidates online?
    4 - How can we capture mobility (willingness to relocate / travel) at the time of position application?
    5 - I do not know if it is a SAP question, but is it possible we have a method for search engine optimization for our open positions in order to have them rank well in external search engines, such as Google.
    I think the answers of these questions will be useful for all.
    Thanks in advance!
    Sivani

    Hi,
    the candidates are in the e-recruiting system, have the good role, but the name and email is only visible in the list after having changed the BP data in the backend system. It's rare. The result list gives fe. 5 records, but you cannot see the name of the candidate in the result screen. When you open the record, and you ask for the data preview, all data is shown. It's only in the result list that the data is not shown. But, after you have changed somethin in the bp-data in the backend, then the data is shown in the result list. Therefor, I'm looking for a report which 'reloads' the data to be shown in the result list.
    Kind regards,
    Ruth
