How do I include digital proximity sensor feedback in my motion control application?
You can associate Measurements sensors configured for your SolidWorks assembly with available digital inputs and limit inputs. Measurement sensors monitor a dimension in your SolidWorks assembly. For proper operation, sensors you configure in SolidWorks must have a properly configured alarm condition. When the specified condition is met, the alarm state changes to TRUE. You can read this state using the Digital Line or Motion I/O method of the Read function block, depending on what input type you have mapped the sensor to in the Map Sensors dialog box. To open the configuration dialogue, right-click the SolidWorks assembly item in the LabVIEW project and select Map Sensors. Notes: • You must deploy the SolidWorks motor or NI SoftMotion axis to which the motor is bound, not the SolidWorks assembly item, to ensure that any mapped sensors are deployed to your LabVIEW project. • When using the Read function for sensor feedback, always use the is valid signal. An example is shown below. • T
