Control DC Motor (start and stop) with LabView

[Tracy123]

I never used Lab View before. For a project, we have to use Lab View to make a small dc motor （HP:1/2， RPM 1725) start, and stop. I have no idea how to do this. Any advice/help anyone? Any tutorial or vi. would help!

Hi there,

Search for “H-bridge” for a common DC motor control circuit, the input terminals from the bridge can be controlled using any DAQ device with digital output lines from LabVIEW. For example: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-17062

I would not recommend using that circuit for controlling a 1/2HP motor.  Just buy a DC drive, and use a USB DAQ that has relays or digital outputs to control the digital inputs of the drive.

Thanks! But what's the difference between a DC drive and a labjak with relay? I just need to control the power and speed of the motor.

hello sir I have a problem like I am using a stepper motor driver module (Rhino) and it controlling the motor. Initially stepper is running without running the code, if I run the code it will come to control. I am using DAQ usb 6009.

Hi Xanthrone,

This thread has been inactive for almost three years now, so you would probably have better luck getting your question noticed if you were to post a new thread on the discussion forums. When you do, could you be more specific about "come to control?"
