Problems with NI9505

[MLisboa]

Hello everyone,

We are two students, technicians in industrial systems in the CIFOM-ET school, in Switzerland.

We are working on a project where we use one of the NI-Max boards to manage a DC motor (NI 9505).

To use the engine, we also use one of the available samples (Servo Drive (9505).lvproj) on LabVIEW version 2012.

We are currently working on the 2015 version of LabVIEW.

We allow ourselves to write on this forum given that we encounter various problems to operate our engine.

The VI RT Servo Drive (9505) allows to simply activate the motor this is in error after a few seconds of activation (error -77092) (see in attached files).

In this case, the 9505 card LEDs that are activated are the following: 1: Power / 2: Vsup / 3: Disable. Even when the motor is activated, the motor remains deactivated (led 3).

We also tried to test the engine using the Interactive Test Panel, thanks to the SoftMotion extension that we recently updated.

This command returns different errors but after deleting them and launching the application the engine doesn’t work anyway.

Using the FPGA Servo Drive (9505).VI , there is no error but the engine does not start anyway.

Thank you,

Best regard

I'm sorry you are having problems running the Example Program.  One problem with attaching a PDF of a screen shot is that it can be difficult (impossible, in my case) to clearly read the Error message (the print is very tiny).  However, it seems to be telling you what is wrong -- something about a property or method?

I don't happen to have this Toolkit installed, so I don't have access to the Example.  Do you know where in the code (i.e. after which LabVIEW function) the error first occurs?  That can give you a clue what is happening.  You can use Probes on the Error Line or use Highlight Execution and watch the code run to see where the Error occurs.

For what it's worth, the error message in the Explain Error Window when I entered it reads:

Error -77092 occurred at an unidentified location

Possible reason(s):

NI SoftMotion: An Axis Interface property or method can only be used with an unbound axis.

In the screenshot, the error seems to be occurring at an Invoke Node in RT Servo Drive (9505).vi. Perhaps you need to call the Invoke Node before you bind the axis?
