Compax3 Communication with Labview

$

Hello,

 

I recently purchased a Compax3 S150 V2 F12 I11 T11 M00 to use for controlling an MPJ motor from Parker. I have configured it and gotten my motor to turn and even ran some of the parts of a motion profile via the simulator in the Optimzation screen.

 

My goal is to control the motor via labview through RS232 but on Parker's website it says that for the I11 T11, "control is via the onboard inputs & outputs only. It cannot be controlled via serial communication." (link) The sales engineer from the company we purchased it from also told me that it would not be possible.

 

In the previous/older thread on this I saw mention that someone re-configured theirs to be an I11 T11 and managed to control it via serial through labview with work object codes (link). 

 

Even though mine is an I11 T11 I was able to click the options and re-configure it as an I12 T11 but I'm not sure if this will enable the use of these serial commands. Overall I'm a bit confused! Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. I'm confident once I know what I can do that previous threads have enough info to help me through getting some labview vi's running it. If not I'll continue to bug the fine people of the NI Forums.

 

Thanks,

 

John
