Controlling a Servo Motor and Driver with NI USB 6001

Hello,

 

I would like to obtain some advice about a set up that I would like to implement. I am going to be using a servo motor package from Anaheim Automation (datasheet attached), and I have some questions about the I/O.

 

Basically, would the USB 6001 (or NI myRIO) be able to properly communicate with the servo driver in the package? There are several I/O parts that I am not familiar with, and would like to receive as much help as possible.

 

Please let me know if I have to provide more information.

If you're wanting to use the USB 6001, you'll have to look into implementing sending the correct communication to the drive (not using NI SoftMotion). I can't seem to find anything on Kinco's site for the model of the drive that looks like the sheet you had attached specified. 

A good place to start would be to find the manual for the drive you will have, and see what communication it expects.
