Can I use SMD 7616 without SoftMotion ?

[ag_mechie18]

Hello,

I have a Parker compumotor (OEM83-62) which I could operate using the ethernet enabled SMD 7616 and stepper configuration utility software. However, I am unable to use SoftMotion to build VIs and control the stepper as I am not purchasing the SoftMotion software.
Would love to get some help, however small, on using LabVIEW to control the motor through "stepper configuration utility", without the need of SoftMotion.

Sounds like you are looking for SoftMotion Lite:
