Hi, I'm trying to get a handle on some potential changes to an x-y motion platform. The system uses 2 of the Misumi RS1 linear stages with the C1 type controllers. My Misumi P/N is RS102-C1-N-3-200 for reference. The current set up uses a joystick for manual positioning, but I want to add LabVIEW position control of the 2 stages. No coordinated motion or anything, just going to a specified location and then waiting for a new position command.
The controller manual says you can operate the stage via RS232C communcation, but I haven't had any luck finding examples using these motors/controllers. I've got a request in with Misumi to see if they can provide any sample code. Before bringing the system offline, I'd like to get an idea of what I'm in for. Any examples using this hardware would be awesome!
Thanks!
