The DCAF Softmotion module is aimed towards simplifying the experience of creating embedded motion systems. Through DCAF and this module, the user would not need to write motion specific code but instead send commands through tags to the motion module.
Vision Development Module Labview
NI SoftMotion Development Module provides all functions that typically reside on a motion controller DSP. With this module, users can handle path planning, trajectory generation, and position and velocity loop control in the NI LabView environment and then deploy the code on LabView Real-Time or LabView FPGA based target hardware. SoftMotion User Defined Variable Many absolute encoders report a position reading through a high speed serial interface, such as EnDat or BiSS C. Using LabVIEW FPGA and an appropriate C Series hardware module you can acquire and decode the encoder signal. Buy the LabVIEW SoftMotion Module to deliver graphical development for custom motion control applications. You can use a LabVIEW project to configure all of your motion axis settings, test your configuration, tune your motors, and quickly integrate custom motion control into your application. Hello, I am a new lab view user, i am trying to connect lab view with solidworks to simulate and control in my assembly. After installing labview 2016 64bit, and installed also soft motion module (LabVIEWSoftMotionModule2016f1) and activated it in lab view but i don't see the softmotion appear in lab view window when i am starting new project neither my assembly. This what i see every time.
Mar 20, 2018 LabVIEW SoftMotion Lite is the same install as LabVIEW SoftMotion Module. The only difference between the two is that SoftMotion automatically becomes SoftMotion Lite after the evaluation period is over and the module is not activated. There is not specific install or configurations to get SoftMotion Lite. The reason that you cannot install softMotion to the target is because you do not have the correct version of SoftMotion on your host PC. You are running SoftMotion 2013f1 and all of the other software is 2013SP1.
The module's requirements and design come from the DS402 Motion Over EtherCAT standard. While the module does not aim to create an EtherCAT slave, it uses the same command/response tag-based architecture from the DS402 standard and attempts to implement the same move types.
This project contains 3 main pieces.The first is the implementation of the moves and of the concept of an axis. This class is made to be overridden if you need to implement a different, non-softmotion axis.The second is the motion module itself. This module implements a state machine similar to the DS-402 one.The third is a set of tools and APIs to make working DCAF Tags easier. Because the State Machine uses a DS 402 styled Controlword and Statusword, the project contains tools to go from a status to bits. Similarly, an API is created to facilitate passing parameters to the module and reading the results.
