About ActiveX MintController

Dear All,

 

I am trying to learn Labview ActiveX programming, by using motion control system. I have SC-610 motor driver and a Harmonic Drive Motor. I am connection with its own program WORKBENCH via USB without having a problem. But I am trying to use ActiveX Mint Controllers but how come I tried it could no succeed. =( one of my vi is attached below. Is there any example or tutorial or documents about Mintcontrollers??

 

Thanks

Best regards

Are you getting any errors when you run your code?

 

From what I can see in your code, there could be a problem because the flow of your program is not closely controlled. Your different ActiveX nodes could execute in almost any order. Try connecting your errors wires from ActiveX block to ActiveX block to control the execution order of your code.

Hi Tanya,

Thank you for your reply. Sorry about the confused schematic that was the which code I don't know. I did lots of combination for finding the correct MINT. But I could not succeed. There wasn't any problem with the code. There is a problem about the MINT coding in Labview. My driver is SC610 but whenever I try setSC610Link for connection, code runs without a problem but program does not connect to the driver. Are there any documentation or any example for mint coding in Labview?

 

Thanks and best regards.

Here are couple of links about ActiveX programming with Mint from Baldor's website:

Unfortunately, there are no specific LabVIEW examples. If you are getting a specific LabVIEW error, it would be helpful to post a screen shot of that, so we can try to determine the cause of the problem.

I succeeded to control the motor. I added the vi, I wish it will help for others who use same configuration.

Hi!
thanks for your vi file.
I´m trying to make exactly what you did but I need RS232 communication and later RS485 communication.
Do you know how to use your design to do that?.

 

And just if you recognize this, when I press "run" without doing anything to the program appears this error message:
"Error 1039 occurred at Exception occured in MintControls5214: The serial port has not been opened, or the hardware ( or device driver ) is not present in harmonic.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: VI was aborted."

 

Thank you very much for your help! 🙂

For serial communication you will need to use the NI-VISA driver. You can download it here:

You can find more information about Serial communication on the following links.
