Can USB 6009 generate PWM signals for DC motor control??

Can USB 6009 generate PWM signals for DC motor control? It is a closed loop DC motor control. The input of PWM i.e. duty cycle will be taken from the sensors attached with the motor and the frequency will be fixed.

Hi Shafiul90, 

It is possible to create PWM signals from a 6009, however it is not recommended for motion control as everything must be done in software timing. Also, you will have to write your own control algorithm to control the signals being sent to the motor. If you are looking for fully integrated motion control system, have a look at our PCI motion cards or cRIO motion modules over at ni.com/motion. 

Additionally, here are two links showing how to do software timed PWM on a 6009.
