Motor/Motion Control Solutions

[Zaacha]

Hello,

I am looking for support on motor control.

I currently use Modbus to control the Kollmorgen drives we have at the Lab, but it is not as responsive as it needs to be.

What are people using to control drives with LabVIEW? Are you not using LabVIEW?

Thanks,

[BertMcMahan]

I like the Galil controllers for bigger stuff, and have had decent luck with Maxon controllers for smaller stuff, too. Anything time-critical will go on the controller itself, as Windows isn't nearly reliable enough for me to trust it for real-time control.

How "responsive" is "as it needs to be"?

Is it safe to assume you don't want to completely replace your existing motors and controllers, or do you have the budget for new controllers and motors if needed?
