motor controller RTA and driver Plus L

Hallo!!!

 

It's possible to controll a step by step motor with LabView ?

The name of the driver is Plus L and the motor is SANYO?

exist some  Labview "Pallete" dedicated to the motor controller?

 

Thank's

I think you are asking if it is possible to control a stepper motor with LabVIEW.  The answer is Yes, and No.

 

LabVIEW, by itself, cannot make a stepper motor do anything.  A stepper motor needs a drive circuit to generate pulses, and regulate current to the motor.

 

You need a stepper driver (this is hardware) first.  Secondly, you need an NI motion controller board.  This would be a very expensive solution if all you want to do is experiment with a stepper motor.

 

There are motion controllers available that take serial commands as input, so you could control the stepper motor from LabVIEW, using serial commands.

 

What is your application?  Maybe I can suggest other alternatives.
