Christurner12 (Customer) asked a question.
I am looking to control a mechanical wedge for a school experiment. I am using EtherNet/IP comms. We use LabVIEW for controlling the rest of our experiment and were wanting to integrate control of this motor.
Currently we are looking to control the motor to certain positions, so looking to create specific Paths for the motor to be triggered to, likely using explicit messaging and position registration. However, we will likely want to have some fluctuation in movement, whether it be a sinusoidal movement or other type, down the road. I do not know if explicit or implicit messaging would be better from the start, and the best way to integrate this with LabVIEW.
If anyone has any advice/tips/examples, it would be beyond greatly appreciated!
Drive Model: SV2A-2075
Servo Model: SV2L-207B
While I don't have specific LabVIEW examples for SureServo2, the general approach for drive communication via LabVIEW typically uses Modbus RTU or TCP/IP. Most modern drives — including general-purpose VFDs — expose parameters over Modbus registers for speed reference, run/stop, and status monitoring.
For SureServo2 specifically, I'd check if ADC has a Modbus register map in the manual (usually in the Appendix section). Once you have that, LabVIEW's Modbus Library handles the polling/write logic cleanly.
