computer crashes for inductive load

Hello,

 

I my application, I am trying to test a 12V DC motor through a labview program i created.

Connection diagram is as shown in the figure attached.

I am using NI USB 6002's analog output 0 to generate a 0-5v signal which is then given to a differential amplifier. This is a unity gain amplifier. The output of this amplifier is then connected to a SMPS based 0-30V power supply as 'remote voltage' input. This power supply in turn generates 0-30v out put in proporting to the 'remote voltage' applied.

When there is no load or resistive load connected, the system works fine.

But then I connect a DC motor, the computer system just crashes.

 

Can anyone help me with this.

 

Thanks!

Do you have oscilloscope to probe the voltage waveform and current waveform on the motor?

 

Typically, may the EMF build an abnormal voltage to your PC. A diode may solve this issue.
