Controllin​g Newport SMC100 with Labview

Dear all,

 

I need to control a single axis Newport motor via Newport SMC100, i installed the SMC100 labview drivers.

Do anyone have examples? OR anyone can show me the way about how can i implement my system very fast?

 

Please have a look at the brief description of my system:

I am also measuring load with "load cell,amplifier and DAQ (NI USB-6343, X series)" so what i want is to trigger SMC100  after a certain value of load cell is reached.

 

Do anyone has any idea how to work this out? is this so hard application for a beginner? :smileyhappy:

 

This is my master thesis's test setup so i am really looking for help.

 

Best regards from Turkey!

Hi Kindly-Wisher,

 

It looks like you have already created a Discussion Forum for this topic (How to interact Motor Controller with Load cell via LabVIEW).  Please try and keep a topic to just one thread.  You can reply back to that thread if you still have questions.

Hi,

I have a problem in controlling SMC100 Newport.

How to modify the home position of motor?

At the first time of opeation, I need the motor go to specific position, not at 0 position.

 

Thanks in advance

Hey neni21,

 

Since this post is rather old, it is probably better to open up a new forum post next time so you can get more visibility.

 

You'll most likely need some type of switch to locate your motor position limits and then work to set a new home position from there. You should set your switches to the designated home position you are needing.
