B&R Powerlink Ethernet module support with LabVIEW

[The_Devil]

Hello Guys,

I wanted to use the B&R Powerlink Ethernet module for one of my industrial applications where in I am planning to use cRIO system for the control but my drives ACOPOS 1022 servo Drive requires this module B&R Powerlink Ethernet module. The link is

So i wanted to check the compatibility of LabVIEW with this particular module and if there is any option for me to program or atleast communicate with this module directly via LabVIEW? This will help me finalize my system and go ahead and start building.

Looking forward for some responses from everyone who has worked with similar setup.

Thank you so much in advance.

Regards,

Priyank Desai.

Hi,

unfortunatelly servodrives from B&R have no open programming interface, so you can not programm them from LabView.For operating B&R servodrive, B&R CPU is a must. This is because operating system of servodrive and all necessary parameters are stored at B&R CPU to guarantee trouble free run always. B&R serfvodrive ACOPOS is not for "component business".

You can listen and command them, when there is a B&R master CPU and servodrive is configured for that.

Following B&R product are Powerling standalone with no need for CPU:

ACOPOSinverter P74/P84

X20 IO system

X67 IO system

B&R CPU is required for ACOPOSmicro, ACOPOS, ACOPOSmulti ACOPOSm65 servodrive systems.

I suggest to contact local supoort of B&R at your country and they will help you how to connect this drive with LabView.

Hi,

I am using a rotary table from B&R which is connected to a PLC. I can read the values using python but could not manage to read or write using labview. Would you happen to have some example using labview?
Thanks

If you could share how you do it in Python, there may be an equivalent way to do it in LabVIEW or, in the worst case, reuse the same Python code in LabVIEW using the Python node.
