Hi Christian,

                         I am trying to use the LVDT simulator in FPGA example that you have. I believe the VI's were written in Labview 2015. Can you save it in (convert to) Labview 2012 for me. My setup includes a PXe-8135 RT chassis with a NI 9144 expansion chassis over ETHERCAT.I have been speaking to Rachel Moore at NI & my specific support request number is 7469125.

 

The zip file on your forum is lvdt_simulation.zip. My email is: Harish.Lakshman@Honeywell.com

 

Thanks

Hi Harish,

 

When I designed the code (2 years ago), I put the code in 2013 version. I think the migration process to latest version of LV is automatic (I haven't done anything). That being said, it doesn't answer your question, I know. I'm going to send you a message from my NI email address and see how I can help you.

 

Regards

Hi Vincent.

 

I'm still on LV 2014.

Would you please help me with a previous version of your design: rainer.langlitz@k-dm.de

 

 

Thanks

Hi Rainer,

 

Which method are-you interested in, the Simple or Advanced?

What is you use-case? What hardware do you use, what is the frequency of the excitation and accuracy requested?

 

Regards

Hi Vincent.

 

I am interestd in the advanced method. My use case is a LVDT simulation with excitation frequency 3 kHz. The other requirements are not clear right now. I would like to run the simulation on a sbRIO. For the design verification I would like to run our code on a lab system to find out what minimum phase shift and accuracy I can reach with a sbRIO. 

 

Regards

Rainer

Hi, I am trying to use the project for emulating an LVDT using labview FPGA, I am interested in the simple method, but I need help related to how modify diagrams to have a LVDT with central tap for the secondary windings, the excitation signal I need is a sinusoidal voltage of 7V RMS and 3KHz, a stroke range of 0.420 in

 

Thanks for your help

Hi Cesar, 

 

Have-you looked at the part running on Windows/RT side to compute the scaling factor (used on FPGA)?

At what rate do you need to update the simulated displacement?

What accuracy do you need on simulated displacement?

 

Regards
