Challenge: Developing a multiaxis motion and programmable logic controller (PLC)-style control system featuring time-critical synchronization and signal generation.
Solution: Using NI PXI hardware to replace traditional PLCs, integrating multiaxis motion control seamlessly with the National Instruments LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module, and solving time-critical issues with the LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA modules.
