VI for a stepper motor (linear actuator)

[Fabius84]

Hi everybody,

I have to controll a linear actuator (DRL28PB1G-03D, Compact Linear Actuator) so that it moves forward and backward. I have a NI PCI-7342.

Please, Can you suggest me any examples or similar VIs?

Thanks

Hope this helps you to solve the issue.

how would I actually wire up the linear actuator in order to get this program to work?

I was originally interested in your post because I am using stepper motors as well.  But anyways, I looked up your motor serial  number on google.  You should really read the pdfs stating how to install it and use it so you don't break anything.  The pdfs help a lot.  http://www.orientalmotor.com/products/pdfs/opmanuals/HP-1420-5E.pdf is the link to the operation manual I found, it SHOULD be the correct one.  But, I will also include the original link where I found the PDF:  http://catalog.orientalmotor.com/item/all-categories/gories-drl-series-compact-linear-actuators-lega...
