Axis Stops Working when using "Configure Axis Resources.flx" Hardware: Motion Control>>Controllers
Problem: I am able to control all of my Axis in MAX without any problem, but when I try to setup my feedback in LabVIEW using " Configure Axis Resources.flx", I cannot get my Axis to work. What am I doing wrong?Solution: There are two common mistakes made when trying using "Configure Axis Resources.flx" that lead to an Axis not working. Mistake 1: Not setting the parameter Primary Output to the proper DAC channel when using " Configure Axis Resources.flx". The problem with not setting this parameter, is that Primary Output is set to "DAC Channel 1" by default. So, if you are trying to setup Axis 2 and you do not explicitly wire the Primary Output parameter to "DAC Channel 2", then you will be setting your system up so that Axis 2 uses DAC Channel 1 to output its voltage. Make sure you always explicitly set the Primary Output parameter when using "Configure Axis Resources.flx"Mistake 2: Error -70111. You cannot configure an Axis to use resources (DACs, ADCs, and encoders) that are in use by another Axis. If you do, you will recieve the error -70111. Make sure you disable any Axis you are not using before running " Configure Axis Resources.flx". To disable one or all of your Axes, use "Enable Axis.flx". Do not forget to re-enable your Axis after calling "Configure Axis Resources.flx" if you are going to be using that Axis.NOTE: Make sure you end all of your NI-Motion programs with " Motion Error Handler.flx". If you are not using "Motion Error Handler.flx", there could be errors occuring on your Motion Controller that are not handled.Related Links: Attachments:
