More documentation, further examples for EAL4Labview

[kti1sw]

I am trying to update an old test-bench-program which controls a linear motor via LabView while measuring signals from a reference-measurement-system and the measurement-system under test (e.g.: IMS). The signals are recorded by a NI-PCI-measurement-card.

The current Programm is communicating via RS232 as well as the digital I/Os from the PCI-Card. Now our goal is, to handle the communication via Ethernet instead.

I have found the EAL4Labview-Toolbox and installed Version 2.4.0.1 but the documentation is a little bit sparse. The given Examples are also poorly explained. Therefore it is hard for me to understand how to set up a working master communication and how to read/write parameters properly.

Is there an extensive documentation for EAL4Labview?
Maybe there is a Pro in this forum who can support me with a better/bigger example of the Toolbox in LabVIEW.

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

some hints for you,

1. Download the complete SDK 2.5, with LabView

https://www.boschrexroth.com/de/de/media-details/a3df0e6f-2fba-48c2-a83d-6ea2ae0a0328

2. Install the SDK, copy and extract only the data in a folder

3. For parametrize the drive and the first test of EAL funktions you can use the sample DriveTool.exe (Visual studio), see screenshot.

4. Use here the initialize method (only for the first commissioning) to parametrize the drive, (deactivate the master communication, set the right operation modes..)

5. Check the help for LabView EAL communication.

6. Now, you can start with the examples or with your own program.

Best regards
