Encoder readings - resolution (FPGA). Couldn't get reading in microns.

[ShazRahath]

Hi everyone,

I'm using LabVIEW FPGA module in 9149ethernet module. Using module 9411. Im getting the digital input from  the module and can obtain the position in "mm". But, for my project, i need corresponding values in voltage for  every micron reading. Please help. I tried to put resolution change in it.Still cant obtain any reading for micron values a voltage output. 

Please find the files attached. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am Ed from National Instruments Applicatons Engineering. I'm happy to assist you with your query, first I'd like to clarify some further information, could you please provide me with a description of the hardware setup in terms of the encoder being used and possibly even the motor.

1. Are you using a single-ended or differential encoder?

2. What is the encoder being used (by name/model number)?

3. What is the motor being used (by name/model number)?

From the research I have currently performed, there is implication that this can be performed in NI MAX, in the linked article below:

Since I am unsure as to what motor/encoder you are using I cannot confirm the above is the methodology however this may provide you with what you need.

I hope that this is helpful and you are successful in your application.

Best regards,

Ed
