Summary:In recent years, an advanced motion control software for rapid development has been introduced by National Instruments, accompanied by innovative and improved FPGA-based hardware platforms. The LabVIEW NI SoftMotion module combines a graphical development environment for motion control applications with a variety of tools for axis configuration, motor tuning and hardware setup validation. This paper presents an application of a motion control system based on the NI SoftMotion module, NI Compact RIO (cRIO) Real Time FPGA Controller and a flexible workbench. It replicates real industrial applications and is very useful for experimentation with Brushless DC/Permanent Magnet Synchronous motors and drives, and feedback devices.
