Control ESCON controller using Labview and NI DAQ 6212

[raluca25]

Hello,

I am new to Labview and Maxon and I do not know from where to begin. I have a NI DAQ 6212, a maxon motor control ESCON  70/10 and an EC motor. I have to get/send data to/from DAQ so the ESCON controller to parse the data received or sent and do something to the motor. 

Is there any Add-on or library to install for labview? I installed SDI plugin but I can't figure ti out how to use it. 

Thank you

if you have some kind of serial interface, just use VISA and talk to the device via the *hopefully* documented format.

i have used a maxon motor before, don't know the name/specs/anything about it anymore,

but we had some kind of controller board coming with it, and i used maxons software to play with the motor,

configure it and then i only had to use a voltage to control the speed and direction from my labview program.

Thank you, I will try to use that.

you managed to do the control from labview, I have a escon 50/5 with EC 90 maxon and I am a little lost in how to connect the controller by labview.
