Position Control of compumotor 406LXR linear servo table and GV-U6E(motor drive) with PCI-7344

[Gino]

Since I had the answers referring:
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000DD490000&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_0=_14_&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_S=0&UCATEGORY_0=_14_&UCATEGORY_S=0

Wiring step was done well. However, I still have a problem that MAX configuration doesn't fit in compumotor drive settings. Therefore, the setup is shown below, and I want to know how I can set up PCI-7344 configuration in MAX or LabVIEW VI.

First of all, before connecting the drive to the 73xx controller I would check that the drive and motor configuration works correctly independent from the controller. The Gemini drives have a utility called the Motion Planner that allows you to configure your motor and drive for independent operation so you can test if the motor and drive combination are working by themselves. Refer to page 18 of the Gemini GV installation guide which you can find at the compumotor site or download from:

http://www.compumotor.com/manuals/gemini/Gemini_GV_HW_Install_Guide.pdf


Once you have tested your motor and drive combination, make sure that the drive is configured in torque mode and that the command signal is configured to be sent from the I/O connector and not through RS232 using the Motion Planner. The next step would be to connect the 7344 through the UMI-7764 breakout box in the following order:

1. ---- UMI7764 GVU6E


2. ---- AOut Cmd+ (pin23)


3. ---- AOGnd Cmd- (pin24)


4. ---- InhOut Enable- (pin2)


5. ---- +5V Enable+ (pin24)


6. 7344 --> EncA AX+ (pin8)


7. ---- EncA- AX- (pin9)


8. ---- EncB BX+ (pin10)


9. ---- EncB- BX- (pin11)


10. ---- Index ZX+ (pin12)


11. ---- Index- ZX- (pin13)


12. ---- +5V Encoder +5V (pin5)

Verify that your enable line is connected in an open collector mode (as shown in the diagram above). Our inhibit outputs can sink current but not source it so if your enable line is not behaving properly you want to make sure that the +5v supply you are suing for the UMI can source enough current for your enable line to work. Consult Compumotor on the specs of their enable switch.

Once the connections are done properly, all you need to do is configure and initialize your board for servo operation in MAX and then you can start your tuning process. Refer to the Tuning PID for servos tutorial in:

http://www.ni.com/support/motnsupp.htm

for instructions on tuning your servomotor properly. Also for more information on using MAX, refer to the following tutorial:
