Sbrio 9636 RS-232 Comunication

[Sebas93cay]

Hi! 
I'm trying to make RS-232 comunication between a Sbrio 9636 and the SC-610 motor driver with the Harmonic Drive Motor.
I want to use the RS-232  interface of the sbrio but I dont know how to do it. I opened the example in labview in Robotics > Communication Protocols > FPGA RS232 but i did not know how to implement it in the sbrio 9636.

Has anyone any example using the RS 232 interface of the sbrio 9636?  thanks a lot. 

And if someone can help me to use the MintController throught the RS 232 comunication to the motor it wold be great.

Thanks a lot again.

Hello Sebas93cay,

For serial communication you will need to use the NI-VISA driver. With this driver you can specify the serial port of the sbRIO and then you can write and read the data using the VISA functions.

The following link is an example for serial communication between a cRIO which writes out the integrated the serial port, and the host PC which reads on a specified serial port. This example can be extrapolated to the sbRIO 9636 for your application

Serial Data Transfer Between cRIO and Host.

I hope this information will be useful for you.  Best Regards.

Thank you!
It works.

I was able to write a string from the sbRIO and receive it with this the same.

I just need to know how to use the NI-VISA driver with the MintController to control the Harmonic Drive Motor.

Hope someone can help me.

Best regards.

I attach a VI from this forum :

that someone could control his hramonic drive motor via USB.
