VFD Control with LabVIEW

[CPP,Inc]

I have a Mitsubishi FR-S510 VFD to control an AC induction motor,with the Mistsubishi software to set parameters and such-my question is this:

I need a way to use LabVIEW to control the motor controller.I am fairly new to LabVIEW but thought someone may have been down this road before...any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Alex.

To control your motor from LabVIEW, you'll need some way to interact between LabVIEW and the Mitsubishi drivers. These will be provided by the manufacturer, and they could be VIs or a DLL that you call from LabVIEW. Are you trying to use NI-Motion to control the motor?

Thanks! Have a nice afternoon!

I've used LabView with Hitachi VFDs. You can download software for Hitachi drives from the following website. Not sure about Mitsubishi tho. They should have some software that you can download for free.

Hello Vinnygalbo

I am planning to use LabView with a WJ200 Series (WJ200-075LF 15hp 200-240volt) Hitachi inverter for my CNC spindle motor. I was trying to download software for Hitachi Drives from your suggested site (http://www.ctiautomation.net/Software.htm). Unfortunately, the button for Hitachi is disabled; I could not find it there. Could you please upload it here that one you used for your application?

Hi,

I'm not sure how I got the URL wrong for that website. When you click on it the page goes to FUJI VFDs.

Try this link for Hitachi WJ200 Series.
