Getting Started with the NI 9502 Brushless Servo 
Drive Module and NI AKM Motors

Note

If you are a new user of LabVIEW or are unfamiliar with LabVIEW, refer to the 

Getting 

Started with LabVIEW

 manual for information about LabVIEW and LabVIEW terminology.

This document explains how to install and configure the NI 9502 C Series brushless servo drive module 
for use with the NI AKM motors, and provides a walkthrough for both Trapezoidal and Field Oriented 
Control commutation modes.

Tip

If you encounter any problems during setup, refer to the 

Tips and Troubleshooting

 section for 

assistance.
