How do I use NI-Motion tools to directly control a P70360?

How do I use NI-Motion tools to directly control a P70360?

‎04-19-2009 07:22 PM

I can currently control a P70360 via modbus commands. I am interested in using NI-Motion routines to do this, if possible. But all the examples and VIs seem to assume there is an intermediary controller card, between the AC Drive and my labview app. I don't need a controller card, I have labview... so, does NI-Motion support direct communication with a P70360?

Well, never mind. I spoke with NI this morning, and NI-Motion only supports calls to their 73x0 motion controler cards. Silly me for thinking there might have been a ModBus instrument driver deleveloped for the P70360. I'll get back to Dannaher (manufacturer of the AC Drive), and work to tweak my ModBus routines. The problem we're having is it gets out of synch, without sending an error due to stall detection.
