With the National Instruments’ LabVIEW graphical development environment, customized motion controllers for any platform can now be created. The SoftMotion module deploys a variety of motion-control functions and algorithms to any hardware platform based on specific application requirements. Users can apply motion control platforms, including NI reconfigurable I/O hardware, PCI/PXI multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) devices and Compact FieldPoint embedded control systems, to improve machine performance or lower system costs. The software includes functions for trajectory generation, spline interpolation, position and velocity PID control and encoder implementation. With the company’s CompactRIO embedded control system and LabVIEW FPGA module, users can achieve servo updates as fast as 5µs or 200kHz for high-precision processes. They can also reduce system costs by deploying the functions to the next-generation M Series DAQ devices, which deliver improvements in accuracy, faster sampling rates, more I/O channels and lower cost per channel.
