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

Eric

  • A Watlow F4 controller monitoring

    Hey everybody,

    I have a wet room ESPEC, that uses a Watlow F4 controller.  I use this to run the testing environment on a device.  Ideally, I would like to monitor conditions inside the room and my camera in the same VI.  So far I had some difficulty contacting the room using labview.  It uses a serial port on the House and a serial USB converter on the side number PC.  I created a small Vi which will act just as a monitor of room for me.  I have attached the VI monitor below.   There is not sense the room at all and give me the set values or current conditions. Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated!

  • NI 9148 with LabView module detection

    Hello

    I got the task of creating a deployable (compiled) software to a DAQ system with NI 9148 Ethernet RIO basket background and various modules. The user must have the ability to change the module type and the location of the different tests, so the application must detect (or the user specify) what modules are at what positions.

    I watched the blockset CRY, however this chassis is not supported and the lowest level blocks are protected. Is it possible to read the serial number of the modules connected to the 9148 OR position, type, and if all goes well?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello Soonxaf,

    What are you helps as a controller-is this RT or Windows? Are you planning on the use of analysis of RIO or LabVIEW FPGA engine?

    If you plan use the analytical engine, so this should help you get started:

  • Test Equity 3007C Watlow F4 controller

    I use currently a Test Equity 3007C temperature room with Watlow F4 controller. Anyone out there know who to switch off your set? I know not if it is '300, 400 W' to get the 40 degrees C. Ive read in other places that you will need to set your temperature "really low" in order to disable the controller. Ive tried a lot of different ways so he can turn it off and have had no success yet. Anything anyone can suggest will be greatly appreciated!

    I was able to understand. I have my low limit on the House of temporary to-75 ° C. It has been test equity. If I set the temperature to-75, 10 degrees C, that he died. Because of the division by 10 my order "W 300 751" SP1 turns off.

  • How to install the version of nor-Sync 3.1 in the remote system (processor integrated PXI chassis) to recognize the PXI-6682 device to work with labview RT?

    How to install the version of nor-Sync 3.1 in the remote system (processor integrated PXI chassis) to recognize the PXI-6682 device to work with labview RT?

    Hung Nguyen

    Hung Nguyen,

    The installation of drivers for all targets in real-time remotely is more or less the same. First install the driver (in your case the NO-Sync) on your PC, then install it on your system remotely through MAX. For step-by-step instructions, see install the software on your NI CompactRIO controller.

    See you soon,.

  • PID controller compatible LabView

    Hi all

    We have built an oven of automated test. It was decided that it is cheaper and more convenient to use a pre built the PID controller, however

    our task is to set the temperature of the oven by using LabView code, so the PID should communicate with the computer.

    I would be really grateful if you could give me a little advice if these controllers exist and where they are or it could be easier to use the box of DAQ + OR PID

    box tools + with external power supply + heating element power transistor.

    PS just to note, temperature range is not very high (20-200 ° C)

    All the best

    Alexander

    Hi Alexander,.

    When you talk about PID controller, there are two options:

    1 software based controller PID (you can develop using the LabVIEW PID toolkit)

    2. regulator based material PID... If you choose to have a PID of hardware in service, you must ensure that it can be used with LabVIEW, I know that what is your concern...!

    For most of these PID regulators (hardware) are an instrument of series (RS-232, RS-485 or MODBUS based) and which can be easily integrated with LabVIEW... no tool is necessary, but all you need is VISA functions or MODBUS library.

  • Deploy file. DLL for CompactRIO with LabView

    Hello

    I have compiled a DLL-file of SimulationX, and I want to deploy this file on a CompactRIO with LabView. How do I do that?

    Thanks in advance

    A correction, the x 900 cRIO and 908 x seem to use an x 86 CPU and execution Pharlap ETS. PharLap ETS allows you to run SOME Windows but by far not all DLLs, because it supports only a subset of the Windows API available on Windows 2000. So, if you have a controller of 908 x cRIO (900 x are very old and unlikely to be used these days) you MAY be able to deploy the DLLS on your cRIO system. To make sure that you check the DLL API not supported importation by the auditor of the DLL which can be downloaded for your version of LabVIEW specific here.

    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.

  • Can what cards I use to develop communication SPI with Labview?

    First of all, I'm an intern is currently working on a project that involves communication with an SPI interface. I have absolutely no experience with SPI, but I finally decided to try. I work for about 6 months with labview and understand the function of basis of a large number of its resources.

    The problem:

    We want to connect Labview to an evaluation Committee that is connected to the PC via USB (but it can also be adapted to connect through SPI). The evaluation board mainly reads and writes if sign up for issuers that are connected to it by a Module assessment. The program which is already which is the Studio of SmartRF (that works via USB), but as we want to link all the functions in Labview we redevelop a platform to do so. If shortly, we want to make a Studio of SmartRF version in Labview. We want to be able to get all the information that makes the program and others... and all this is possible through SPI.

    Here is a link in case you are interested what is SmartRF Studio: SmartRF Studio link

    My question is which card do you recommend for what we are trying to accomplish? We are looking for something not very expensive but who fail to meet our requirements.

    I think of the NI USB 8451, but please make suggestions.

    Thanks a lot in advance and please stay tuned to my many questions coming about how to accomplish this enormous task with no knowledge whatsoever of SPI or how to mix with Labview only one student. I am reading as much as I can find, so all the links will also be very much appreciated. If anyone has any experience with NI USB 8451 with Labview be kind enough to guide me

    Sincerely,

    Gisela

    If you have very little experience with LabVIEW and SPI, the 8451 is a good choice. It's expensive, but it's really easy to use and configure.

    The Aardvark is also a good choice. There pilots LabVIEW is also easy to use in LabVIEW. The disadvantages is that it doesn't have a lot outside of simply making SPI or I2C - in other words, it doesn't have a lot of GPIO. This can be important when control of multiple SPI devices, because it requires to select them lines individual slave.

    Dinah is really more than a product of laboratory, or something that is meant to be placed inside a camera. It is expensive, compared to the other two, but it doesn't have native drivers in LabVIEW. On the contrary, it comes with a DLL you can call from LabVIEW. I wrote a set of LabVIEW drivers for it, but I can't distribute.

    There are other products on the market, which some will resemble a device series to your computer. For example, you would use VISA to communicate with the SPI controller, and it would appropriate communication of SPI.

    Among the three mentioned here, I would suggest that you go with the neither of the Aardvark, one.

  • Application errors of the RT with the PXI-4461 with Labview real-time 9.0.1, DAQmx 9.0.2

    HI -.

    I recently converted a PXI time system real OS (PXI-1042 q chassis, controller PXI-8187, DAQ, PXI-4461, DAQ, PXI-6259). I can write and run DAQmx applications in real time with the 6259 very well. Whenever I try to write a labview RT app to use the 4461, however, it will fail. Note that I can use two cards through MAX I tried switching card slots, just in case it was a problem. Both cards worked with labview, the PXI chassis was before Windows.

    Attached are pictures of the screw base demo I built to show the problem. Since I was a mistake (-200758) if I started from the raw strings, I tried to create a MAX task and use it. The task, but he complained of a buffer is too small. I explicitly put the buffer to work around this problem and still get the same error (-200608). I've also attached a screenshot of the software currently on the Max MAX RT PXI system is version 4.6.2 btw. (I installed the most/all this from DS1 Dev Suite 2010 version).

    Please let me know if I hurt something installed, versions if 4461 just don't play nice with the new BT or RT software, or if something is wrong. Thank you.

  • Executable VI with Labview 2011

    Hello everyone, I'm doing an executable on LabVIEW 2011 SP1. I've never done before, but in my project, I go to tools-> Build Application (EXE) from VI... I check to make sure that all the Sub VI are in the Dependencies tab and I put the way I want the EXE to go, then I build it. Building compiles and I have good Run-Time Engine installed, but when I go to open the EXE file, I get a lot of mistakes because void VI could not be loaded. I checked these Sub VI that were not loaded and they are locked and password protected. Probably comes with LabVIEW, so they don't want to play us with anything. How can I get these included in the EXE and not return an error?

    Thank you.

    I deleted the Run-Time Engine and downloaded again, and I think it worked. Strange, but I accept it
