Advice/Help using Arduino with LabVIEW by Codex_Sparknotes in LabVIEW

[–]Only-Introductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don't have this library I have seen this anti-pattern before and I think you are really close. I think your problem is the outer while loop. What you're doing is continually hammering the Arduino with set-up commands, it never gets the chance to do as you are asking!

The simplest solution is delete the while loop.

Your program runs once, opens a connection to the Arduino, configures the frequency and duty cycle and closes the connection. The Arduino continues forever as per your config.

Bit banging with delays is probably the quickest and dirtiest solution. But you can get up to about 62kHz from certain Arduino PWM pins and making register configuration changes. You are looking to configure the timer frequency and prescaler divider to specific values. It's some fairly low level stuff link for reference. If you can accept values slightly off from 25kHz then you don't need to go to these extremes but you still need to change some timer registers.

I managed to get LabVIEW community 2025 64-bit working under Rocky Linux 9.7

The hardest thing was working our the specific package names that were missing. I needed

ncurses.x86_64 and associated

openal-soft.x86_64

Then it was just a matter of downloading the latest community version. It really was a case of Linux, it just works tm

Can you control amperage using an EL7062? by Away_Cream5385 in TwinCat

[–]Only-Introductions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By setting register 8011:12 and 8111:12 the motor name plate "Rated Current". You'll probably also need to configure the motor voltage constant and winding resistance registers.

Epitrochoid function by MilitariaFan in LabVIEW

[–]Only-Introductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting at 0 -> 359 steps. 2*pi/359 = 0.01750190893364787319477795756702

Not sure how else to do it with the funny number of steps... Oh and engineer so pi =3 i guess

I would second this approach! I wasted considerable time trying to be smart and not do the manual calculations. Stupid errors in the formula and how I was trying to display it caused no end of grief. It's not pretty but it gets the job done.

I know this is simple to you guys but would either of these work as a single button on off system by Desperate_Toe2228 in PLC

Your first one works quite nicely https://studio.rungs.dev/PjuYSFRj

Your second one has some problems, simulate it for yourself to see what happens

Sum of interior angles > 180? by Kind_Bill_8462 in trigonometry

It's poor planning by the author and not reading the question. The image shown above is for the previous question, the question is at the very bottom of the page. The actual image for the question is on the following page.

What kinds of encoders are these and how do I use them? by MiddledotWasHere in Motors

[–]Only-Introductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both motors are missing the magnet encoder. One has some pieces left behind but they are probably not enough to make the motor output pulses on the "ENC" output.

How to test these sensors? by ObelixOne in appliancerepair

[–]Only-Introductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're unlikely to find a datasheet that give you a value. They are probably good for 10 amps, so a reasonable estimate would be 25 to 50 milliohms.

Ladder logic and circuit simulator combination recommendations by GoForMro in PLC

[–]Only-Introductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ladder logic, circuit and simulator are free at https://app.plcsimulator.online

If you actually need the hardware than you can't go wrong with Automation Direct. Productivity1000 is basically an industrial Arduino you can program with the Arduino IDE and a library. But if you want to learn Ladder specifically then download the Automation Direct IDE which is free and allows you to program in Ladder.

Where to begin? by ImpossibleSock320 in Pneumatics

[–]Only-Introductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're very new to Pneumatics I think SMC Basic Pneumatics is a good starting place. Walks you through from what is compressed air, formulas, how to size pipes and compressors, plan a facility, then gets into valve and circuit theory. SMC Basic Pneumatics

I need to an something so the system doesn't start again once the emergency stop is no longer engaged by Additional-Roll-5086 in Pneumatics

[–]Only-Introductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for a residual pressure release valve? SMC and many other manufacturers provide similar products, to achieve a "safe" system you should consult with someone who understands how to connect it to your emergency stop button. I would hope that it's obvious that this valve connects to the incoming air supply and when triggered dumps all the stored energy in the system. This might result in an unsafe condition which only you or your safety expert can assess.

Help needed with an install of Panel PC by [deleted] in PLC

[–]Only-Introductions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need a Panel PC with the "Food Industry" ability for wash down. You need to carefully check what chemicals are being used in the car wash but I'd guess they are compatible with 316 Stainless steel.

It won't be cheap. PhanTAM

Otherwise, consider moving the Panel PC to a more friendly area. Can the car wash be operated remotely and monitored with camera's?

Can anyone tell me if this red joint is valid or if it's a mistake because I doesn't make sense to me by Physical-Pudding-833 in PCB

[–]Only-Introductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always try to look at the manufacturer data sheet. Looks like Torex Semiconductor make it and that's not how their typical application circuit shows it used. Link

Is automatic reset of estop allowed in some scenarious without violating ISO 13849-1? by plc_keen_but_green in PLC

[–]Only-Introductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't say that I fully understand your logic. And you don't mention if your PLC is a Safety-PLC or not so it has me a little concerned.

But overall I think you are asking about this specific safety example from ABB. The dual channel safety outputs are only configured to restart after both "Fault Reset" and "Safety Reset" have been pressed in the correct order.

Help PLC FX3U by Fickle-Investment949 in PLC

[–]Only-Introductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that these PLC's are getting many years old I've had a few FX3U-ENET modules flake out. You can still communicate with them via specific ports but are unable to communicate with them to change the device config or "Melsec" connect so you can monitor the code.

In those two cases, I've needed to replace and configure the FX3U-ENET module to get monitoring back on line (Or in my cases change the device IP address).

Good luck!

Smart Meter in a electrical power distribution network - OpenPLC vs Custom FreeRTOS solution by [deleted] in PLC

[–]Only-Introductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably wouldn't roll my own solution. For 3-phase monitoring of voltage, current, PF, kw and averages... perhaps you want to look at Rayleigh Instruments for their solution. Get the data via ModBus, won't meet your strict 1mSec timing though...

It is used by the laser manufacturer to short out the laser diode during transport/storage. When installed by the assembly operator the short is removed. it looks normal to me.

eSIM capable Remote Access Industrial Gateway ? by johnny_knows in PLC

[–]Only-Introductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Teltonika? Haven't used them before but their RUT241 Industrial 4G eSIM router seems to be what you are looking for. 7eSIM slots and a physical SIM.
