MECHATROLINK-II Driver for LabVIEW

Yaskawa Electric announces the release of a new driver for National's Instruments' LabVIEW graphical programming environment. This driver allows for the creation of motion profiles on a standard PC with Windows XP/Vista, which allows for simple point-to-point moves in test and measurement, lab automation, and many other applications. The driver combines the power of LabVIEW with Yaskawa's family of AC servo drives and motors via a PCI communication card running MECHATROLINK-II. Now, LabVIEW can fully harness the broadest range of servo products from 30W to 7.5kW.

This MECHATROLINK-II driver provides NI's LabVIEW Version 8.6 users a simple, easy-to-use, powerful network for controlling "point-to-point" and velocity motion in MECHATROLINK-II enabled devices:

  • Yaskawa's Sigma III and Sigma-5 servos
  • Yaskawa's VFDs
  • Other MECHATROLINK-II enabled devices (i.e. Steppers, Remote I/O modules, etc.)

System Requirements:
  • PC running Microsoft XP Pro or Vista Operating Systems
  • National Instruments Version 8.5
  • MECHATROLINK II enabled Servos, Steppers, Drives, I/O, etc.
