Can I use LabView to control a Frequency converter

[Boozz]

Hi,

I was wondering if there's anyone out there who's controlling parameters of
a Frequency converter with the aid of LabView. Some of VFC's are equipped
with a communication port which can be attached onto a computers com-port.
Has anyone tried this before?

Looking for some example for Hitachi, Yaskawa and ABB 🙂

Thanx,

Boozz

Hello

I want to build up a CNC milling machine. i would like to get a Spindle motor of 6Kw motor.

The motor link is http://tahnzy.en.alibaba.com/product/805968599-218252357/6_0kw_chinese_square_air_cooled_spindle_mot...

My question is what kind of driver do i need to control the motor speed from labView Vi. Does anyone have any suggestion which driver would be suited for labView control?

Regards

Boozz,

If your equipment allows common way of communicating from a computer (such as through RS232 or USB or Ethernet - pretty much any standard communication method), then you can easily use LabVIEW to communicate to them through NI-VISA (RS232, USB, etc) or Internet Toolkit (ethernet/wifi, etc) functions. There are several examples or even ready-made code using that method on this site. In fact I have seen some ABB equipment coming with such "LabVIEW drivers."
