Getting Started with NI SMD-7620/7621 and NI 73xx
10. Wait for installation to complete, then click
Finish
.
11. Expand the
Devices and Interfaces
item under the PXI system.
12. Right-click the remote motion controller icon and select
Map to Local Machine
. This
assigns a local board ID to the remote motion controller in the host system.
Mapping the remote controller into the local system allows you to configure the controller
through MAX exactly as you would a controller that is in the host system. You can initialize
the controller, download firmware, and use the interactive and configuration panels exactly
as you would on a controller installed in the host machine. You also can write VIs using the
remote motion controller through the local board ID assigned to it.
This allows you to write and debug your VIs on the host, and then download them to the
remote system when you are ready. All you need to change is the board ID in your VI from
the locally assigned Board ID to the ID assigned by the remote system.
13. Browse to
Devices and Interfaces
under
My System
, where there is a shortcut icon next
to a new controller name.
For example, if the motion controller on the remote system is a PXI-7354, and the remote
system has an IP address of
123.45.678.9
, then the shortcut device would show a name
like
PXI-7354 (X) on 123.45.678.9 (Y)
.
X
is the board ID assigned to the board by the remote system. Use this board ID for VIs that
are downloaded to the remote system through LabVIEW RT.
Y
is the board ID assigned to the remote motion controller by the local system. Use this
board ID for any VIs that run on the host and use the remote motion controller.
14. Close MAX.
NI UMI-7764 and NI SMD-7620/7621 Configuration and
Installation
This section covers the hardware setup for the NI UMI-7764 and NI SMD-7620/7621 stepper
drive. If you are using a UMI-7772/7774 refer to the
NI UMI-7772/7774 and NI SMD-7620/7621
Configuration and Installation
Step 1: Connect and Configure the NI UMI-7764
Complete the following steps to connect and configure your UMI-7764.
Tip
For more information about connecting external power, encoders, and other
motion I/O signals, refer to the
Universal Motion Interface (UMI)-7764 User Guide
and Specifications
.
1.
Connect the SH68-C68-S 68-pin shielded cable between the Motion I/O connector on the
NI 73xx motion controller and the Motion I/O connector on the UMI-7764.
2.
Configure the UMI-7764 DIP switches. You must set the DIP switches to the following
settings to match the polarity configuration for the SMD-7620/7621 stepper drive:
•
Inhibit Input (S2)—Active Low
•
Inhibit Output (S1)—Active Low
