Servo Network Driver for LabVIEW

YASKAWA ELECTRIC announces the release of a new driver for National Instruments’ LabVIEW graphical programming environment. This driver allows for the creation of motion profiles on a standard PC with Windows XP/Vista, which allows for simple point-to-point moves in test and measurement, lab automation, and many other applications. The driver combines the power of LabView with Yaskawa’s family of AC servo drives and motors via a PCI communication card running MECHATROLINK-II. Now, LabVIEW can fully harness the broadest range of servo products from 30W to 7.5kW.

This MECHATROLINK-II driver provides LabVIEW users a simple, easy-to-use, and powerful network for controlling “point-topoint” and velocity motion in MECHATROLINK-II enabled devices:

• Yaskawa’s Sigma III and Sigma-5 servos
• Yaskawa’s VFDs
• Other MECHATROLINK-II enabled devices (i.e. steppers and remote I/O modules, etc.)
