Connecting a EPOS 2 70/10 maxon motor controller to NI MYRIO via LABVIEW

[Tyde123]

Im working on a project where EMG waves are the ones controlling the motor through the program on Labview. Im not really well versed on Labview and so far I have only produced a labview to read the EMG waves produced.

My project requires me to allow the motor to assists a person when he stands or sits.

I am using NI MYRIO as the main controller, EPOS 2 70/10 as my motor controller and it will be controlling a brushless motor (Maxon motor EC 90 flat 323772) with a CSD-25-100-2A-GR Harmonic gear and an Encoder MILE 453234.

Any suggestions or tips will be greatly appreciated thank you!

Hi,

I have read your request and came to the following suggestions:

• Which model of MyRIO are you using?

Once you find it out, please go to:

https://www.ni.com/en-us/shop/category/portable-student-devices.html?productId=118881

Then select your model >> Datasheet & Specifications >> NI myRIO-19XX User Guide and Specifications

There you can find all the required Data for your specific MyRIO (for example ports, configuration etc…) This is the basic tool you need to know, to connect your controller to MyRIO properly. The connection of your controller to your motor should be straight forward.

• Once you are done with that step, you will need to know how to program on myRIO, for that, please visit following tutorials:

• First LV Program:

• Analog in/outputs in LabVIEW FPGA

I have sent you a picture of the EPOS 2 70/10 motor controller interface.

 Hope these Tipps helps you a step further.

And if you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Kind Regards,

James.

Hello,

I have sent you some suggestions previously.
Did you find out which model of My Rio you are using?

I also sent you a picture of the interfaces of your Device,

Which one of them do you entend to use?

Good luck for your project.

Sorry for the late reply I do know how to use the basics for labview but only to find the emg analysis

I am using NI Myrio 1900

I cant seem to understand the labview programming which controls the epos from labview itself. I have read several ways to control it but i still dont have a good idea because i will need to control the motor based on the EMG of the user.

Hi Tyde123,

I am doing something similar with your work..currently, i am trying to control maxon motor (EPOS2 command) from my NI Myrio1900.. How to write the labview programming about this? Have you managed to do that? Could you mind to share it here?

Thank you....
