compax 3 labview

[Bastiaan Winnelinckx]

Hello,

does anybody know if there are drivers available to control a Parker servo motor with Compax 3 drive through labview using the RS232? If yes, where can i find them?

Thanks!

I don't believe there are any drivers available.  I played around with it a while back and did some basics.  Here are the VI's that I made.  I don't have Labview on this computer, so I can't even open them up to tell you what they do.

I'm interested in the same.  Brain, the zip file you provided did not include a csv file including all of the objects.  Do you have this or do you know where I could find it?  Thanks.

I won't be able to get it until Tuesday.  All I did was copy and paste the Compax3 Object definitions and addresses from the manual to a csv file so that I had a drop down list of the commands, and a corresponding address to use.

Here is the .csv file.

Hi Brian,

I also have a Parker Compax3 controller that I would like to drive with LabVIEW via the RS232/485 com port with serial commands.  The Compax3 is configured to function as an I12T11 model.  Can you send me any LabVIEW example code that you may have available to help me get started?  We are working with the FieldPoint and compact DAQ families.  Thanks,

Luke

Luke-

Everything I have for the Compax3 and Labview I have posted here.  I believe there is another thread that gives some more information about it.

Hello!

   Actually I do it using the analog input port. My motor/driver follows a tracking of velocity. I guess there's a simple solution for your problem.

1-Open the example of LabView BASIC SERIAL WRITE AND READ

2-Find out the code command for setpoint (In my case, sepoint for velocity, it is [681.10])

3-Write in serial port the code command with "2O" and "\r" after. For example, in my case, it is 2O681.10\r

Note: Before anything the driver must setup manually for the correct method of control, it is, torque control, velocity control or position control.

I hope it helps

I realize this is an old thread, but I built this driver for a project that I was working on and thought it could help someone out in the future.

This just reads the objects based upon the codes starting on page 211 of this manual   I started to incorporate some level of error handling, but ran out of time.

The future is now. Thank you!
