SoftMotion Module Overview

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

the 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 SoftMotion Module.

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

with UDV axes and the LabVIEW FPGA Module.

Figure 2. 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 SoftMotion APIs to create move profiles.

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

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

the 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 SoftMotion Module Help, available by

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

NI 9503 with SoftMotion section for more information about the NI SoftMotion Drive

Interface VIs.

The following table briefly describes each UDV used in the project. Refer to Adding

User-Defined Variables for Use With a UDV Axis in the SoftMotion Module Help for more

information about each UDV.

2. Double-click the Stepper Drive (Getting Started) - FPGA.vi item to open the VI.

3. Select Window»Show Block Diagram to open the FPGA VI block diagram.

The following table briefly describes each FPGA VI loop used in the project.

Table 1. Stepper Drive (Getting Started) UDV Descriptions

UDV Name Description

Axis 1.Control Register Contains information used to control the state and operating

mode of the device.

Axis 1.Mailbox

(FPGA to Host)

Contains information used to provide configuration and other

data from FPGA to the SoftMotion Engine.

Axis 1.Mailbox

data from the SoftMotion Engine to FPGA.

Axis 1.Position Setpoint Specifies the position setpoint.

Axis 1.Status Register Contains information used to report status and operation mode

information from the device to the system.

into account the direction. This value is based on actual steps

generated, not feedback position, and may not exactly match the

feedback position.

Table 2. Stepper Drive (Getting Started) Loop Descriptions

Table 3.

FPGA Loop Name Description

Fault Monitoring Loop The Fault Monitoring loop sends fault information, including

user-defined faults, to the NI SoftMotion engine and sends the

state machine implemented in the Control Status Loop into a

fault state.

Control Status Loop The Control Status Loop interprets the Control Register UDV

and recognizes state changes, executes the appropriate action on

a state change, and generates the Status Register UDV that

returns information to the SoftMotion Engine.

Reset Monitoring Loop The Reset Monitoring Loop latches the reset variable so that it

only changes on a rising edge of the Scan Clock. This allows

proper operation of the SoftMotion Motor Control VIs with a

reset input.

Mailbox Loop The Mailbox Loop transfers axis configuration and other data

between the SoftMotion Engine and the LabVIEW FPGA

Module. The transferred data is written to FPGA memory and

accessed using the Read Motion Memory and Write Motion

Memory Drive Interface VIs. This loop is required to be

implemented as-is for proper operation

Synchronization Loop The Synchronization Loop synchronizes the FPGA clock

(slave) to the RT clock (master) to correct for drift and jitter.

This is the preferred synchronization method to use with the

NI SoftMotion Module. The Synchronization Loop is required

to be implemented as-is for proper operation.

Position Loop and

Current Loop

The Position Loop receives position setpoints from the

SoftMotion trajectory generator and uses the Spline

Interpolation VI to generate intermediate setpoints, resulting in

smoother motion. It converts the position setpoints to an

electrical angle, which is used to generate phase A and phase B

current setpoints. The Position Loop sends current setpoints to

the Current Loop

PWM Loop The PWM Loop takes the A+, A-, B+ and B- duty cycles and

converts them into digital signals that control H-bridges on the

drive. The PWM Loop also triggers the Current Loop to run at

the midpoint of the high phase of the PWM duty cycle.

Compile and Run the Example

Complete the following steps to compile and run the example.

1. Right-click the axis in the Project Explorer window and select Properties from the shortcut

menu to open the Axis Configuration dialog box. The Axis Configuration dialog box

includes configuration options for stepper drive command signals, feedback devices,

Note The Axis Configuration dialog box user interface may not match this image

exactly depending on which version of the LabVIEW SoftMotion Module you are

using.

2. For NI steppper motors, select the motor name from the drop down list. The motor

parameters are included with SoftMotion and do not require customization. For third party
