Controlling brushless maxon DC motors using NI6229 PCI card

[128]

Dear All,

I have the EPOS 24/5 controller and PCI 6229. How could I control the motor to move in Labview 8.50? Is there any vi example?

Do I have to buy CAN as the interface of PCI card adn EPOS controller?

cheers

Hi Dan,

This KB goes over interfacing with the EPOS from LabVIEW: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F2F553B7B2E3FC10862572AC0023FCA0?OpenDocument

All the best,

Dear Rob,

Thank you for your information.

I want to use the CANopen Library to control motor. Do you have any example of Labview vi so that I can refer to ?

Many Thanks

Dear Rob,

Many Thanks for your help.

I think I found the example in the CD of Maxons (WIndows DLL 32 bit driven in Labview).

Thanks again

Hello toberts,

Are you using a fan with a Maxon DC motor and a PCI-6229 as well?

This thread was specific to this setup. Can you please let me know iIf you are using different hardware?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your time to reply on my message.

Below is my only HW available.

1.ordinay dc fan(ex. exhaust fan of PC with two terminals only,(+)and(-)

2.parallel port interface

3.pci-6503

With I would like to seek your help on how to measure the speed of an ordinary DC fan using the above resources.

if I will be using parallel port\pci-6503 what will be the possible connection between the fan and parallel port?

can you give me sample VI program.

Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

toberts

As far as I know, you can't.

Please start a new thread. Your question has nothing to do with the original.
