Getting Started with NI 9512 and P7000 Drives 

What You Need to Get Started

You need the following items to get started. 

Software

LabVIEW 2009 or later

LabVIEW 2009 Real-Time Module or later 

NI-RIO 3.2.0 or later

LabVIEW 2009 NI SoftMotion Module or later 

P7000 Tools configuration software (optional)

Note

The RS-232 serial configuration cable and P7000 Tools configuration 

software are required only if you are using a third-party motor. If you are using an 
NI stepper motor, you can perform configuration using only the DIP switches on the 
drive.

Hardware

NI 9512 C Series drive interface module

NI 9512-to-P7000 stepper drives connectivity bundle. This product contains the following 
items:
–

A cable to directly connect the NI 9512 DSUB with the P7000 series stepper drive

–

A 37-pin terminal block and cable for connecting the NI 9512 MDR connector to other 
I/O

NI real-time controller
–

CompactRIO controller and chassis that support the RIO Scan Interface

Tip

To determine if your controller and chassis support the RIO Scan Interface go 

to 

ni.com/info

 and enter the Info Code 

rdsoftwareversion

.

or
–

NI 9144 distributed chassis and compatible RT controller

Power supply for the controller

Note

Refer to the hardware specifications for information about selecting an 

appropriate power supply.
