Read Velocity minimum threshold?

Is there a minimum velocity that an axis encoder must be above before the "Read Velocity.flx" will return a value?
When I run at slower speeds for the system and try to use this VI to determine the speed of the axis to calculate the appropriate time of the move, I am getting back 0 for my velocity.
Stepper motors, 5000 steps/revolution, 10 mm/rev pitch screw stages, 5000 counts/rev encoders.
Thank you,

Hi Ryan,
If you look at the detailed help in LabVIEW for the "Read Velocity" VI, at the bottom of the document it says, "The data this
VI returns is averaged based on parameters set in the Load Velocity Filter Parameter
VI"  This VI configures the internal filter for velocity reporting. The reported
velocity can oscillate due to feedback quantization error, noise, and jittery
systems, etc. There is a lot more information given for this function in the detailed help that I would suggest looking at (update interval input, filter distance, etc).  I hope this helps.
Regards,
Vu

  • Need help with EXS24 "read velocity range from file name"

    I am trying to import 127 drum samples to a single key using the option shown here. The option says "Map to key dropped on and read velocity range from file name". I can find no documentation in the manuals on how to do this. What is the syntax required in the file name to make this work? I need to do several of these imports. The capability is cleary there, but I need help on how the file name should be formatted. My thanks to anyone who can help.

  • Read velocity from QUAD-510 using single phase sensor

    Hello, for my application I'm using a proximity sensor to count pulses using the CTR-400. To obtain velocity, I can make some calculations based on frequency or period but I was wondering if I can delegate this annoying task to the QUAD-510 module At the moment I'm able to read velocity using an encoder, but what if I use a single phase sensor like a proximity?

    Hi,
    Take a look at this document that talks about measurement with single phase and QUAD-510:

  • Need right value to Load/Read Velocity Using Input/Return Vectors

    I have a servo motor with a encoder feedback of ( 4,000 counts per revolution ), maximum velocity of 6,000 rpm ( 100 rps ). I need to create 3 moving profiles with stroke time of 0.25 mm/sec, 1.0 mm/sec, and 25 mm/sec. I would like to use either Load Velocity VI or Load Velocity in RPM VI whichever is easy to set velocity, distance, and read position of my axis. More, I would like to be able to use onboard variables to set distance, velocity, and read position of the axis using input/return vectors, but I don't know how to set the right values. Do I need a conversion or multiplier number to get the right value?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Carlos D' Garcia.

    Carols –
    There is a simple vi on how to do vector moves at the following link (I also attached the file below):
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3DF9956A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52480&p_source=External
    To have your axes move at different rates, you will have to replace the single ‘Load Velocity in RPM.vi’ that is wired to the Configure Vector Space.flx with three separate Load Velocity RPM.vi’s each with an axis constant (or control) wired to their axis input and the max velocity you want. This way, you will set the maximum velocity for each axis rather than all three at once.
    Best of luck with your project! Let me know if you have further questions with this.

    Matt,
    How cold is it where the FieldPoint unit is located?  It is roughly -30C...It is located in an enclosure and other than the TC problem everything is running fine. I could try changing the temp in the reefer to a warmer temp and see if performance is affected.
    Have you tried unplugging and re-plugging each of the TC-120 and CB-3 several times since the unit was placed in the cold environment?No do you think that would help...I will try that this afternoon.
    Are the CJ and sensors reading properly with MAX, or with the short, test sensors? I am unsure if the CJC is reading proerply. I do not know the actual temperature in the compartment but from what I can tell it is in the ballpark of the refridgerator's set temperature. I have not tried connecting another TC I planned on doing that this afternoon (this is my second job). My thermocouples are attached to shielded & twisted thermocouple wire (from Omega). The wire runs any where from 10' to 40' to the FP module. In th e"control" room where it is -30C they terminate to the FP module. Last night I warmed up the wire in the control room and notice that my temperature readings had changed. Do you think the wire itself could be the problem? Now I plan on attaching a TC to one of the open channels and checking the readings. Then I was going to check the the temp of the TCs in each room (comparing the measurement with an independent temperature device). I really hope it is not the wire b/c that woudl be a real pain trying to run it again!
    Thanks for all of your input Matt!

  • What is the minimum payment threshold?

    There is reference in the Payments and Financial Reports Guide to a "minimum payment threshold" but it seems nowhere to be defined precisely.  I've received a payment of under $10.00 directly into my bank account, which is fine.  Can I expect these on a monthly basis, or is there a point at which they will be aggregated to a minimum threshold amount before transfers to my account are made?

    According to the FAQ at https://itunesconnect.apple.com:
    Payments are made within 45 days of the last day of the month. To receive payment, you must have completed all documentation, including any required banking and tax information, as well as meeting the minimum payment threshold. If your bank and bank account currency is listed in this table, you must exceed a minimum payment threshold of $20 USD. All other bank countries and bank account currencies must exceed a minimum payment threshold of $150 USD.

    Using OEM 9.2.0.1 and have various events registered
    but noticed that the minimum threshold value for the
    Broken Jobs event test is 1, whereas all the
    documentation and help refers to it being 0. I only
    noticed because we have 1 broken job and no alert for
    it.
    Has anyone come across this before as I can't find
    any references to it.
    Thanks
    NeilI do not know about "all the documentation and help refers to it being 0" because I have not checked, but the minimum Critical Threshold is 1.
    I do not know why anyone would want to set it to 0 because it is equivalent to not setting the Broken Job test

  • 'Use minimum version required by the Flex SDK' setting question

    Hi,
    Can someone explain why after downloading the latest stable Hero SDK (build 19786), which only has fp10.2 support in the framwork/libs/player directory, would the 'Use minimum version required by the Flex SDK' build property still tell Flash Builder to build for fp10.1?
    In my flex-config.xml file from this new SDK, I see the target-player attribute is set to 10.2. Is there a bug in burrito that would fail for that value to be used?

    No. That should work. Builder also reads the minimum value from flex-config.xml.
    Just to check - you added this as a new SDK in Preferences -> Flash Builder -> Installed Flex SDKs and either made that the default SDK or changed the project to use the new SDK, right?

  • Velocity measurement from low resolution encoders

    Hi, I have 1024 pulse/1rotation encoders. I want to calculate or estimate angular velocity from this low resolution encoders. When I use dx/dt(derivative.vi)  there are high and low readings which obviously seem wrong to me.I want to have a more smooth and accurate reading(and without much delay). Is there an efficient and accurate way of reading velocity measurements from this low resolution encoders? FOr example does Ni/Motion help? Or is there a velocity measurement .vi ?
    Thank you.

    As far as I remember (*) , the FP-QUAD will measure the velocity by counts during a fixed time slot. The maximum time is (was?) 26.??ms.
    Your resolver has 1024 pulses (I assume 2 pulse streams with 90° shift) , the QUAD will count pulse edges, so you get 4096 counts per revolution. Together with the integration time (26.??ms), you get a resolution of 38.15 counts/s (See manual of the FP-QUAD) or an error of +/- 0.559 RPM
    Of course you can read the 32bit counter of the QUAD in a user defined time periode and calculate the velocity.
    If you have real slow movements, you can measure the time between each pulse. The accuracy will depend on the quality of your resolver and the resolution of your timer, however I think this couldn't be done with the FP-QUAD.
    * My last task with FP-QUAD was 4 years ago, maybe new firmware and driver give you more choices now

  • Reading a scale value for a condition

    I have a condition on VK12 with a scale value on it.  It's a perception minimum for a tax.
    I have a SD formula (937) on VOFM - Formulas - Condition Value.  There in some cases I want to check if a sum stored in gkmov is greater than this perception minimum or not.
    Anybody knows a function or a way to read this minimum?
    Thanks!

    Finally I realized that KONW was with old data sometimes, so it wasn't usefull.  But on these formulas XKOMV has the field KNUMH with the proper value charged for each line, so with this code I read the KONW table by myself and I solved the problem.

  • Active directory intersite replication minimum polling interval is 15 min or 7.5 min ?

    in  MCITP 70-640 R2 Self-paced training kit , at page 593, we read :
    "The minimum polling interval is 15 minutes. With this setting, and using Active Directory’s
    default replication configuration, a change made to the directory in one site takes on average
    seven and a half minutes to replicate to domain controllers in another site."
    i don't underestand which one is true at last ? 15 min or  7.5 min ?
    i wonder at my exercises i noticed that replication occured between sites at about that 7.5 min  and didn't take  15 min.
    if that is 7.5 min , so what is the reason that they wrote 15 min ?

    at a maximum 15 min.
    the so called average is 7,5 min <----- forget this!
    remember the following as your rule of thumb: the minimum interval that can be configured is 15 min and the default is 180 min (3 hours). The interval is the max amount of time that needs to pass before the DCs (between sites) initiates inbound replication.
    So it will take the period of the interval or less before replications starts

  • How to read out a RPM signal in labview using UMI 7764 and PCI 7330

    Hi
    I have a problem getting a encoder signal into a labview program. The encoder is connected to a UMI 7764 motion device. This device is connected to a PC trough a PCI 7330. I heard rumors that I can't have more than two axis on a PCI 7330. But can I have more than 2 encoders on it?
    The big problem is that I am new to the motion system and I don't know where to begin.
    I'm going to finish a uncompleted system, but when I look at the VI, I get nervous. So you are my last hope.
    I have taken screen captures of the VI and uploaded it.
    My task is to implement a new encoder signal to the already-made VI.
    Question is:
    How do I add and read out a RPM signal from a new encoder?

    From your post it seems like you wants to read back the RPM value of a particular move based on your encoder. There actually is a specific VI that you can use that does exactly this. The Read Velocity in RPM.VI should output the RPM of the current move that you are doing.
    In the code that you posted, it looks like you are performing a two axis move. Therefore you will need two instances of this VI, one for each axis. You should utilize these VIs within the while loop and after the move has been started that way the RPM values are continuously updated.
    It also seems like you have inherited some code that looks very complicated. We would highly recommend that the you begins experimenting with basic motion to get familiar with it.

  • Hold indicator value after threshold is exceeded

    I have a portion of my VI that uses an auto indexed for loop to view an array of 10 boolean values indicating whether a test threshold has been exceeded.  If a false value is recieved on any of these 10 channels, I need to have an indicator display the current temperature for that channel.  The problem I am having is that subsequent false values continue to update the temperature value rather than keeping the temperature reading when the threshold was exceeded.
    Looking over the discussion forums, it seems like maybe a shift register is how this is done.  Is adding 10 shift registers allowing me to look at the last value for each channel the best way to handle this?
    Solved!
