AC motor run and control

[Zilvis1972]

Hi Everyone.

I am new in using a Labview and DAQ devices. Doing a project in college this year.

My question would be: what hardware required to run AC blower motor and get readings from sensors. (Proximity sensor which sensing motor spinning and optical speed sensor to measure RPM)

Any help would be appreciate .

Cheers

Hello Zilvis,

Could you tell us a bit more about the AC blower and Proximity sensor?  A data sheet you could link? 

My first search for the proximity sensor returned this tutorial, maybe something for you? -  but it all depends on the sensor!

Hope this helps, if anything else ask away!

Kind Regards,

Hi Natalia, thanks for your replay,

Here is a sensor below, which sensing motor spinning:

Blower motor:

My project is to set up a station for the blower motor test after repair. Run the motor, check motor spinning via proximity sensor, check  RPM via optical speed sensor. Control is using LabVIEW software.

Thanks and Regards,
