LabVIEW Real-Time Module Setup

Using 73xx motion controllers with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module and

a remote PXI system is very similar to using NI-Motion with a PCI 73xx

motion controller in the host machine. The only difference is that you must

map the remote PXI system to the local machine before you configure and

initialize the motion system. Figure 1 shows a remote 73xx motion

controller mapped to the local machine. The IP address in the device name

indicates that it is a remote device.

Figure 1. Mapped Remote 73xx Controller

When the 73xx motion controller is initialized, you can create a

deterministic, real time motion control application using the LabVIEW

Real-Time Module and target the application to the remote device in the

PXI system. Refer to the Remote Systems topic in the Measurement &

Automation Explorer Help for Motion for information about mapping the

remote system to the local machine.

Configuring Your Motion Control System

Before you configure your motion control system, install your motion

hardware, including 73xx motion controller, motors, drives, encoders, UMI

(if necessary), limits, and home switches. Refer to the appropriate hardware

documentation for installation instructions.

Note You must have a complete hardware setup to configure and test your servo system.

Note National Instruments recommends you connect the 73xx motion controller axis

inhibit outputs to the drive. Inhibit outputs are typically used to disable the servo or stepper

drive for power saving, safety, or specific application reasons. Refer to the NI-Motion User

Manual for information about inhibit outputs.

National Instruments recommends you use MAX to configure and test your

motion control system. Refer to the Measurement and Automation

Explorer Help for Motion for step-by-step configuration procedures.

NI Motion Assistant

National Instruments Motion Assistant is a graphical prototyping tool you

can use to prototype motion control applications. Motion Assistant contains

the following features: simple and complex moves, graphical prototyping,

and code creation.

Simple and Complex Moves

Motion Assistant offers several move types that represent the most often

used moves in motion control. Supported moves include the following:

• Reference moves include home and index moves.

• Straight-line moves create simple point-to-point movement for basic

motion applications.

• Arc moves enable circular, three-dimensional, and helical arc types.

• Contouring moves allow any trajectory specified by a series of

coordinates.

Graphical Prototyping

Motion Assistant is a fully graphical interface that makes it easy for you to

prototype a motion application by creating a series of moves. The position,

velocity, and acceleration of the moves are all graphed and editable in two

and three dimensions.

Code Creation

When you are finished creating a prototype of a motion control application,

you can use the Motion Assistant code creation feature to export LabVIEW

or C/ C++ code. You can use the exported code to complete the application

in LabVIEW, C, or C++. You also can use Motion Assistant to generate

code recipes that you can use to code a motion control application in other

text languages, such as Microsoft Visual Basic.

The code generation feature of Motion Assistant also creates placeholders

in the generated code or code recipes for non-motion code, such as data or

image acquisition, in any location you specify.

Advanced Features

Motion Assistant supports the digital output and position compare output

features that are available on 73xx motion controllers. These features are

designed to be used with motion control to synchronize or coordinate

external processes with moves.

The digital output feature allows you to write to an ancillary digital output

line on the 73xx motion controller under the following move conditions:

• Before Move Completes

• After Move Completes

• After Blend Completes

The position compare output feature allows you to write to the position

compare output lines on the 73xx motion controller at a specified position

in the move. If you are using a 7350 motion controller, you can configure

multiple or periodic position compare outputs. Both options add multiple

position compare outputs to a single move.

Hardware Support

Motion Assistant 1.3 is compatible with NI-Motion 7.0 and later. To create

LabVIEW code from a Motion Assistant prototype, you must have

LabVIEW 7.0 or later installed.

Motion Assistant requires that either the actual controller or the virtual

representation of a 73xx motion controller be installed in the computer.

Refer to the Motion Assistant Help for more information.
