LabVIEW software and the LabVIEW NI
SoftMotion Module deliver graphical
development for custom motion control
applications. With LabVIEW NI
SoftMotion, you can use the LabVIEW
project to configure all of your
motion axis settings, test your
configuration, and tune your motors.
When your hardware configuration is
complete, you can use an interactive
test panel to validate your
configuration and move individual axes
to verify the hardware setup.
LabVIEW NI SoftMotion offers the
convenience of programming your motion
profiles with a high-level function
block API based on the Motion Control
Library defined by PLCopen including
function blocks for straight-line,
arc, and contoured move types as well
as function blocks for advanced
operations like electronic gearing and
camming. LabVIEW NI SoftMotion also
features advanced functions for custom
motion application design including
trajectory generation, spline
interpolation, position and velocity
control, and encoder implementation.
By combining LabVIEW NI SoftMotion
with the new NI C Series drive
interface modules for CompactRIO, you
can take advantage of the RIO Scan
Interface for simplified application
development for single-axis and
multiaxis coordinated motion. For
applications that require
functionality or features that are not
available with the C Series drive
interface modules, LabVIEW NI
SoftMotion provides axis interface
nodes, which you can use to create
custom motion applications that add
speci
alized I/O or customized control
algorithms.
In addition, LabVIEW NI SoftMotion
enables digital prototyping for motion
applications and machine design by
connecting to the SolidWorks Premium
3D CAD design application. With NI
SoftMotion for SolidWorks, National
Instruments releases a pioneer version
of software for simulating your
designs created in SolidWorks using
actual motion profiles developed with
NI SoftMotion function blocks. Because
of this, you can visualize and
optimize the design and evaluate
different design concepts before
incurring the cost of physical
prototypes.
