Controlling Power Input and Time of a Step Motor using a TB6600 Stepper Motor Driver

[Grace81304]

I am having trouble figuring out how to create a code what will ultimately control 3 step motors which will be in a xyz configuration. I would really appreciate any help. I will also be using a TB6600 Stepper Motor Driver along with the step motor. The driver has a power input from 9 to 42V DC. I am currently using LabVIEW 2018 (32-Bit) as well.

I primary concern is developing a code to control the power input and time, but mainly power input, of the step motor.

I am fairly new to LabView and unexprienced so if anyone could possibly provide insight on how I should tackle this, link other resources, or provide a solution, I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you.

Hello,

How are you connected to the drives/motors? Are you using NI SoftMotion?

NI SoftMotion Module allows you to build custom motion systems using LabVIEW with National Instruments hardware.

Thank you so much for your reply.

I have installed the Softmotion module and tried working with it but I have been tasked  to solely use DAQ in combination with Labview to control the step motors.

I am trying to figure out how to code a control for a XYZ motion. For now, I am focusing on at least figuring out how to code for one of the step motors.

If you have any advice, I'd be so grateful.

Hello,

I am Ahmet Gümüş and I am a student in Turkey. I have an assignment too. I am trying to rotate a Nema model stepper motor with a TB6600 driver and labview. We're trying to do what's in the picture below. But I couldn't. There are also many examples with Easy driver on the Internet, but I couldn't adapt them for the TB6600 either. Would you share such a labview schema with me if you have it? I would be very happy if you could help. In advance, thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Ahmet Gümüş
