Asking about the controlling servo motor by NI 7350 controller

I have already gotten a new machine and My prof told me to contact to run the servo motor , we got 3 motors to control 3 axis to move the postion like 3d printer . And we got ni motion 7350 controller and UMI 7772 . Can you help me which software and hardware I need to do to contact all of it ? . My prof told me to write the C# program to control 3 axis .

 

Thanks in advance

Hello tihai1992,

 

A general list for the hardware and software that you need to control your motion system are listed on page one of the following “Getting Started Guide”.

 

Getting Started with NI-Motion for NI 73xx Motion Controllers

http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/373329e.pdf

 

This Getting Started Guide also includes information on generally setting your system up.

 

The UMI-7772 only allows one to interface with two axes maximum. In order to control all three of your axes, you will either need to get another UMI-7772 or get a UMI-7774; the UMI-7774 allows you to connect to four axes rather than just two. Please refer to the following resource for more specifications for the UMI-7772/4.

You will also need to download the NI-Motion driver to give you access to the motion controlling API. It is important to note, however that the NI-Motion driver is not supported for use with Visual C# .NET. Please refer to the following KnowledgeBase for more information over this topic.

 

 NI-Motion Driver Support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/67253305A52EFB1986256E94005945D2

 

It may be possible to use the NI-Motion DLLs in your C# environment, but it is not guaranteed that it would work. In order to use the functions from the DLL in your C# environments, you must create a wrapper around the DLL.

 

So in summary, you will need:

-NI 7350

-Computer with PCI slot or a PXI chassis with an available slot (depending on whether you have a PCI or PXI card)

-Two UMI-7772 or one UMI-7774

-Three motors

-Cables to connect motors to UMI

-NI-Motion Driver

 

Please let me know if you have any additional questions over this topic.

Sorry to bother you !

When we setup the hardware , How can i write the code and upload for motion card ?

Example : with Arduino circuit , We can write the code into the Arduino software and connect to the PC by visual studio .

Hi Tihai1992,

 

It looks like you've created multiple threads for this same question. We try to keep each question limited to one thread, so that you can keep track of all of your responses in one place, and to keep our message boards from getting flooded with copies of the same question.

 

Let's call this thread solved, and you can continue your troubleshooting efforts in your other thread.
