Maybe.
we use our corporation opens out drivers which are servo and stepper, and we open out pulse , high performance waveform generation and IO card. which are used to control motor's "torque, velocity, and direction motion..." ,and read encoder counter and sensor's condition immediately. all of cards are working at a box together. we call it "high performance motion controller" a box of system that can control 40 servo motor and 50 stepper motor about. it can compose a large motion system !!!
about stepper motor's control principle is easy.
it needs "enable, direction, and pulse. error I/O " signals only.
enable and direction is high and low train signal.
pulse is a square wave. its frequence directs motor's velocity!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
about servo motor's control principle is harder
cause motor is three phase, or more phase.
it demands "enable,direction and sine waveform.error I/O..."
enable and direction's functions are the same as stepper motor.
but sine waveform is not the same as stepper's
phase discrepancy is 120 degree corresponding for three phase servo motor.
it's amplitude and frequency direct motor's torque and velocity.
.......
for some our test station ,we would use C langue to open out our motion card's driver.
and use labVIEW to control motor's motion. labVIEW is good. and easy using.
it is always matching our expectation for test staion's test parameter and demands.
for the other test station. we use NI products .many many. and they are good.
I like PCI series. PCI-6601, 6024.......
use them to control "relay array" to take test actions to test our products' safety, burn in, offset, frequence response..... performance .
the last that I want to say. labVIEW and NI products are good. it will save your development's time, and get your control and test expectations !
trust it !
it is not a advertisement , just my experience sum up .
