Linear actuator, motor controller and labview. Establishing a connection.
Overview:
I have a 12VDC linear actuator (potentiometer built in) connected to the and 21v3 Jrk USB motor with Feedback Controller (http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1392). Feedback from the actuator wires connect to the motor controller motor USB controller connects to the computer via USB.
Problem:
Establish the connection between the motor controller and labview.
What I've done so far:
I installed the drivers for the motor controller and windows detects it. OR MAX detects my motor controller (photo attached), but for some reason when I try to access it via the daq assistant in labview is not see it. I tried also access it through VISA with no result...
Help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Peter
You have some things you have to look in:
- When you have installed the software, he was installing a USB > dll Com Port virtual as FTDIchip or similar? If so, when connect you your device, it will reveal itself as a normal COM (new) Port in Device Manager. You then try to talk to this COM port.
- If you try to use the USB native on the map (as MAX has detected for you), then you will need to use the code in the .NET framework provided by the manufacturer (probably written in c#) and do your own builders in LabVIEW. If you have never done this before, it's not trivial.
I would call the manufacturer and just tell them what you're trying to do. They have probably treated before LabVIEW and can have an example to help you get started.
Edit: for fun, I followed the link you provided (which doesn't really). I searched "LabVIEW" of their site and indeed has achieved several successes. There is one thing that I downloaded (can't resist looking at code) was a gigantic turd. However, it doesn't use a standard Com port.

With the help of Lego sensors and motors through the LabVIEW and NI PCI card
I want to connect a card PCI NI Lego motors and sensors and drive motors and the data of sense using LabView. What card PCI can I use? Thanks for a great site and fantastic community online.
Hi Tom,
Looks like a great app. NXT with LabVIEW Migration will be a big intermediate step before joining more industrial and better sensors with a PCI, PXI, cDAQ or cRIO. We have a lot of options when it comes to vision and control and acquisition of movement, and we have dedicated forums for all of these products as well.

Compliling VI in LabVIEW with cRIO-9004 controller and chassis cRIO-9104
I tried to compile in LabVIEW with cRIO 9004 and cRIo-9104 connected.
It has three options
(1) use the server local compilation.
(2) to connect to the network compile Server
(3) to connect to the service of LabVIEW FPGA cloud compile
But I'm unable to compile my program using one of these.
How can I get my compilation made? Help, please.
Thanks YouCp
Service provider shared's Standard Service program is an annual fee of NOR, which in turn allow you to update your modules and LabVIEW and benefiting from the support of NEITHER.

Load cell, compatibility linear actuator
I am putting together a new test configuration that will operate a linear actuator, in charge of sampling. Data will be graphically represented on a graph of load vs displacement. I am new to Data Acquisition, so I just wanted to run my installation by a person who has a little more experience before you start spending money.
Motor and controller are ZAGARELLA. The engine is a NEMA size 23, 60mm travel (model #NA23C60), the force of 175 lbs; controller is a phase 2, up to 2. 5A by the motor controller step-by-step phase (Model #T - MCA). Engine connects to the controller with a Minidin 8. Data cable to the controller is a controller's connector Minidin 6.
Load cell is a cell of weighing Subminiature Honeywell Model 11 with a capacity of 100 lbs (range BR code). I also use a Honeywell model UV-10 online amplifier to convert the millivolt signal ±10Vdc signal.
Input module is a NI 9219, 4 channels, with connector 6-pos or blocks.
Output module is a NI 9265, 4 channels, with connector 10-pos or blocks.
My question is, what is the best way to connect to the motor controller for input/output modules? Also, same question for the Load Cell/amplifier and the input module. My setup looks, as it will work. I'm off little blind here and would be greatly HERE can anyone shed any light. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeremy,.
I'm not too familiar with the ZAGARELLA products but you were seeking to use the modules OR to send commands to the controller or you were looking to them for use as drive for the engine? Whatever it is, these modules will not be able to do it either. A quick search on google shows that the motor controller communicates via serial and or one of the modules that you have listed has a connector series. If you plan put these modules in a cRIO, you could use a NI 987 x to communicate through series.
If you thought using modules OR as a drive for the engine, it is not possible either. You say your Motors require 2. 5, but most NI 9265 will be able to output is 20 m.
In regard to the load cell, it seems you're going to need power external amplifier, which make no incremental signal you're trying to read. 9219 read only of differential signals, then you probably want to consider using a NI 920 x or a 9221. To connect the signal of the amplifier to one of these modules, the signal wire should go to one of the channels I and the Earth to the Terminal COM.

NOR-Fieldpoint supported in Windows 7 and LabView 8.6
We have a 'classic' with an ethernet controller FieldPoint system. We want to be able to read/write from/to the FieldPoint network using a computer with LabView 8.6 and Windows 7. NOR-FieldPoint is supported in LabView 8.6 and Windows 7?
Kind regards
Nate
Hi natewkidd,
I feel like some confusion between the operating systems running on a development computer (as Windows 7) and real-time operating systems that run on our real time (such as the PS-2000) controllers. I will do my best to clear up this confusion first answering your questions.
(1) what is the difference between 2009 LabView real-time and LabView 2009?
LabVIEW Real-time 2009 is actually a software officially known as 2009 LabVIEW Real-time which is installed after the LabVIEW 2009 development software to allow the user to develop and deploy applications in real time on targets in real time as your PS-2000. You can consider the LabVIEW Real-time 2009 almost as a plug-in for LabVIEW 2009 deployment and development of real-time applications.
(2) if I have a PS-2000 on the ethernet network and to use a computer that is running Windows 7 and LabView 2009 for record and display data, will I still be able to communicate with the network FieldPoint screws write FieldPoint to my Windows 7 computer?
If you go just to use the PS-2000 as a network module (NOT to deploy a real-time application to run on the PS 2000 itself), you should be able to communicate with him using just the read/write FieldPoint screw on your Windows 7 with LabVIEW 2009 machine and the driver NOR-FieldPoint 6.0.5. In this case, you actually do not need the Module Time since you do not deploy the application to the target in real time.
About the PS-2000 unsupported beyond LabVIEW 8.5.1, is because the controller's memory is not large enough to hold the software that is installed on the controller with LabVIEW 8.6.x Module real-time and LabVIEW Real-time Module 2009. For more information on this, you can check this knowledge base article.
I hope it's useful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for choosing National instruments.

Watlow F4 controller with LabView
Hi all
I have a HX300 refrigerant in a closed circuit that uses a Watlow F4 controller. I want to control the F4 controller and monitor the conditions of it such as the rate of pressure and temperature using LabView. I heard about the pilot Modbus who helps make this communication possible and downloaded it. I use the version of LabView 8.6 and followed the steps needed to include it in Labview. I have very little experience with Labview and wonder how to start to write the code for this. Any help is very appreciated!
Thank you

Implement and control 'meter' in S7 - 300 by the OPC and LabVIEW
Hello world
I use a S7-300 PLC and OPC Server for my projects. I have a problem: S7 - 300 has a meter module which digital signal of County. I only can implemented using SIMATIC STEP 7. Can I set up the meter module using only the server OPC and LabVIEW
does anyone have a solution or an idea for my problem?
could you please help me...
Thank you
Hi Echion,
NOR-DAQ (MX) is used only for material OR: no you can not use it.
To program the controller you must use the right programming environment. For Siemens S7, you need to use Simatic (or perhaps some other 3rd party software supporting IEC61131). Point.
The OPC server is used only for the exchange of data. This is no interface programming!

Circuit of Simulink connection to the controller of LABview
I try to use my LABview VI to control the switches in a Simulink model. I do not know how to accomplish this task, but right now I'm trying to establish a connection between the two.
I have 2015 LABview and MATLAB 2011.
After googling how to connect a LabVIEW Simulink model, I found the following:1 using the model Interface tool (MIT)
2. using controls and Simulation tools to convert a LABVIEW Simulation Model
1. I downloaded MIT and Veristrand and followed the steps in this link: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/374160A-01/vsmithelp/mit_convert_model_to_dll/
But I do not know where to go to from there. Most of the tutorials I found using the SIT2. the Simulink components are not recognized in LABVIEW and are just empty boxes.
Question: What is the best way to connect with LABview Simulink model?
Hello
This seems closely related to it.
The two methods can be used, but both methods require some considerations.
For the model interface Toolkit, you need to mind what are the features you use. Please take a look at this.
«In the Simulink software, you can convert models that use only a Solver step-size ordinary differential equation (ODE) in compiled templates fixed.» In addition, you must disable data logging in the application of Simulink software. »
Please refer to the following as well.

http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/374160B-01/vsmithelp/mit_convert_model_to_dll/
(is the one you linked, I just want to bring the model must be a dll to work with the model Interface Toolkit)
http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW/importing-MATLAB-model-file-to-LabVIEW/TD-p/883625
(the message mentions the 'SIT', that is not the model Interface Toolkit)
The last of them brings something about the method of Simulation of design by control &: the model must be a mdl file so that the converter of Simulation Model work.

You can try the following steps and check if it works:
Method 1:
You can restore to an earlier device driver if you are having problems with your computer or device after upgrading the driver.
Restore a driver with its previous version

SM Bus controller and controller USB drivers for Pavilion P6 - 2307 has

I am trying to find the drivers for SM Bus controller and USB controller for the Pavilion P6 - 2307. If I go to download drivers and download updates, it does not install it. I run Windows 7 64 bit and I made sure I downloaded the correct drivers.
At their launch, Windows 7 comes in asking if the run installation program correctly which means that somehow it didn't. It then asks if you want to run it in compatibility mode and if I say yes, nothing happens.
Can you get it someone please let me know where I can find the correct drivers to make it work on Windows 7 64 bit.
Thank you
