Delta servo drive from LabVIEW serial port

[Kimwoo35]

Hi. 

I want to send position command to detla motor drive asd-B3 series. and want to read feedback for logging at 20ms interval. drive has mini usb port which can be connected directly to pc without any card. 

Regards

With my 5-minute read through their 1000+ page user manual, they have not exposed the commands to control the servo drive using the USB-port. You may have to use the PROFINET or MODBUS to control it.

Hi Kimwoo,

For Delta ASD-B3 drives, it's possible to use RS-485 or Modbus to communicate with the drive from LabVIEW, but you'll have to do some software development.  You can search the forum for some examples.  

However, some users may find modbus too slow or difficult to use.   Our company has a simple "one-cable solution" for LabVIEW users to control popular servo drives (such as Delta, Yaskawa, Mitsubishi, etc.)  Here's a demo video: https://youtu.be/vVT29MvLhtE.  This would give you full control over your Delta ASD-B3 drives without any problems.

Advantage of servo motors includes its feedback encoder. So how we can save fole at high sample rate for logging.
