Write a Labview program to control both speed and direction of stepper motors

 

Hello,

 

   

I am currently undertaking a project in University. As part of it I have to run two stepper motors at varying speeds, and one of them in forward/reverse. The motor I have for the project is a RS 191-8334 (V9728) and the controller is a RS 240-7920 (v10900). I have no experience of using Labview, and the version I have on my laptop is Labview 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Ideally I would want a program to do both full/half steps, forward/reverse, have speed control and be able to control the number of steps.

I forgot to mention, I will be running it from the USB port on a PC.

Hi Wef,

 

I would need to know more information about the devices in order to assist you.

What inputs does the stepper motor controller require and what hardware are you using to supply the required signals to the motor.
