Has anyone used the Parker Bayside BDS I-Drive servo controller via serial

[DRP]

I need to send 3 pairs of speed and position setpoints from Labview over a serial connection to a Parker Bayside BDS I-Drive servo controller. They actually use the USS protocol from the Siemens drives. Has anyone already done this? And maybe could provide some pointers to a novice?

PS this a repost of a question I left in the Machine Vision forum by mistake.

Hi DRP,

I regularly look at both the Vision and Motion boards, so I showed your post to a buddy of mine who does a lot of serial communication.   From a programming standpoint, this application looks like its just LabVIEW code to control serial outputs, which (depending on your expertise) might make the project significantly easier.  Either way, Craig should be able to help you out on your original thread.

Good luck with your program,

Robert
