Use labview to control smart motor

[conanxzy]

I'm using smart motor SM34165DT in my project.

I need to control the motor using labview, what I need is very simple:

1. control the timing of the starting and stopping of the motor, i.e. tell when to start and stop.

2. control the speed of motor.

Is there any related labview code can help me achieve these?

Thanks.

Hi conanxzy,

that motor allows for RS232 and CAN communication. It also supports analog and digital i/o signals.

Which method/bus do you want to use?

Did you read the motor's manual for all those options?

I will use RS 232.

Hi conan,

then read the manual to know which commands you need to send and what kind of answers/parameters you may read from the motor...

Thanks for your concern.

I hope if there is any exist labview codes I can use or modify.

Hi conan,

you may start with "Advanced Serial Read and Write" from the example finder...
