NI SoftMotion Module Overview

NI SoftMotion Module UDV axes allow you to implement an interface for communication

between the NI SoftMotion Engine and the LabVIEW FPGA Module. This is achieved using

user-defined variables that you add to the project, making it easier to use C Series modules in

FPGA mode with the NI SoftMotion Module.

The following figure shows the NI SoftMotion architecture when you use the NI SoftMotion

Module with UDV axes and the LabVIEW FPGA Module.

Figure 2. NI SoftMotion Module with UDV Axes

You use the LabVIEW Project to configure your axis settings and test your configuration. When

your hardware configuration is complete, you use NI SoftMotion APIs to create move profiles.

Communication to the LabVIEW FPGA Module is handled throughuser-defined variables. You

use the NI SoftMotion Drive Interface VIs to implement an interface for communication

between the NI SoftMotion Engine and the LabVIEW FPGA Module. When you use the Drive

Interface VIs with UDV axes you communicate using a predefined set of UDVs. Refer to Adding

User-Defined Variables for Use With a UDV Axis in the NI SoftMotion Module Help, available

by selecting Help»LabVIEW Help for information about the predefined UDVs. Refer to the

Using NI 9501 with NI SoftMotion section for more information about the NI SoftMotion Drive

Interface VIs.

Hardware and Software Installation

This section covers the hardware and software setup for the CompactRIO system and NI 9501

C Series drive module. Refer to the Setting Up and Using Optional Hardware section for

information about connecting additional hardware.

Step 1: Set Up the CompactRIO System

Complete the following steps to set up the CompactRIO hardware.

1. Install the real-time CompactRIO controlleron the chassis if you arenot usingan integrated

controller and chassis.

Note Write down the controller serial number before installing the controller onto

the chassis. You will be unable to read the serial number after you install the

controller.

a. Make sure that no power is connected to the controller or the chassis.

b. Align the controller with the chassis as shown in Figure 3.

c. Slide the controller onto the controller slot on the chassis. Press firmly to ensure the

chassis connector and the controller connector are mated.

d. Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the two captive screws on the front of

the controller.

2. Connect the controller to a power supply and an Ethernet network on the same subnet as

the development computer. Refer to the controller operating instructions for information

about wiring the controller to the power supply and Ethernet network.

Note Do not plug in or turn on any power to the system until after all hardware

connections are complete.

3. Install the NI 9501 module in slot 1 of the chassis, if available.

Note The NI 9501 example programs are configured for slot 1. If the NI 9501

module is installed in a different slot, modify the examples accordingly.

Step 2: Connect NI 9501 to the Stepper Motor

1. Connect the stepper motor to the NI 9501. Figure 4 shows a typical bipolar stepper motor

connection. Refer to the NI 9501 Operating Instructions and Specifications for important

connection information, including information about EMC compliance and connecting

6- or 8-wire stepper motors.

Step 3: Connect the NI 9501 to the NI PS-16

Power Supply

Tip Refer to the NI PS-16 Power Supply User Manual and Specifications for more

information about connecting and using the NI PS-16 power supply.

Complete the following steps to connect the NI 9501 module to the NI PS-16 power supply.

Tip Refer to the NI 9501 Operating Instructions and Specifications for more

information about module power supply requirements.

1. Connect the NI 9501 Vsup (pin 8) to one of the two (+) terminals on the NI PS-16.

2. Connect the NI 9501 COM (pin 7) to one of the two (-) terminals on the NI PS-16.

3. Connect the power supply to AC power.

Step 4: Connect the System to AC Power

Complete the following steps to power on the system.

1. Connect the controller power supply to AC power.

2. Connect the NI 9501 power supply to AC power.

Step 5: Install Software on and Configure the

NI RT Controller

This step covers installing and configuring the software for the NI 9501 stepper drive module.

It assumes that all required software from the What You Need to Get Started section is installed

on the host machine.

Complete the following steps to configure the controller and install software on it.

Note The Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) user interface may not

match these steps exactly depending on which version of MAX you are using.

1. Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) on the development computer by

double-clicking the MAX icon on the desktop ( ), or by selecting Start»

All Programs»National Instruments»Measurement & Automation.

2. Expand the Remote Systems tree.

3. Highlight your device.

Note If you do not see the controller, you may need to disable the firewall on the

development computer. Go to ni.com/info and enter RIOMAXTroubleshoot

for more information.

8|ni.com |Getting Started with NI 9501 Modules and NI SoftMotion

4. Verify that the Serial Number in the General Settings section matches the serial number

on the device.

5. If you do not want to format the disk on the controller, eliminating all installed software and

files, skip to step 15.

6. Set the Safe Mode switch on the controller to the On position.

Note If your controller supports the Attempttorestartinto safemodeoption,you

can programmatically enable safe mode rather than using the hardware switch and

skip to step 8.

7. Power on the controller. If it is already powered on, press the Reset button on the controller

to reboot it.

8. Right-click the controller under Remote Systems in the configuration tree in MAX and

select Format Disk.

9. (Optional) Enable either the Preserve the primary adapter settings and disable the

others or Preserve the settings for all network adapters options if you want to retain the

same target name and IP address and retain settings for the secondary network adapter, if

available.

10. Click Format to start formatting the disk.

11. When MAX finishes formatting the disk, set the Safe Mode switch to the Off position

(if necessary) and click OK in the confirmation dialog box.

12. Select the System Settings tab on the bottom and type a descriptive name for the system in

the Hostname field.

13. (Optional) Complete this step only if the target has an empty IP address (0.0.0.0). Select the

Network Settings tab and select DHCP or Link Local from the Configure IPv4 Address

list to assign an IP address or select the Static to specify a static IP address in the IPv4

Address section.

14. Click Save on the toolbar and let MAX reboot the system. You may not need to complete

this step if you did not change the IP address or name.

15. When the new system name appears under Remote Systems, expand the controller item in

the tree, right-click Software, and select Add/Remove Software.

16. Select a recommended software set that includes NI-RIO 2012 or later. Click Help if you

need information about installing recommended software sets.

17. Click Next.

18. Select LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module from the add-ons list.

19. Click Next to install the selected software on the controller.

20. When the software installation completes, click Finish to reboot the controller.

21. Make a note of the IP address assigned to the controller, to use when adding the target in

LabVIEW.

22. Close MAX.
