TENET_JW Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hi folks, Long time reader, 1st time poster (old account got deleted? couldn't recover it) LabVIEW and coffee? Heck yeah, any day. You'll see my spaghetti code come to life. 😄 No, but seriously ... I've always been a big fan of LabVIEW, and ever since NI discontinued their motion offerings, I was really sad for a while. (Maybe because motion was also my specialty as a systems engineer at NI. 🙁) Back in the day, NI had great motion products that worked well with LabVIEW. They worked great for pick-and-place systems, automatic positioning, test systems where you need to move the DUT or sensor around, etc. Well, now I left NI, and being located in Taiwan, this give us an advantage for sourcing various electronics and embedded systems. My partners and I started TENET Technologies this year, and I pitched to them and said ... you know what? What if we made a motion controller for LabVIEW users? I'm reluctant to believe that, just because NI has forfeited this market, that LabVIEW users don't need motion controllers anymore. Without NI's solution, users are burdened with having to risk compatibility issues with other motion controllers, AND also have to deal with APIs that look like dismissive afterthoughts. I've researched many different APIs from 3rd party vendors, and usually they look something like this: Uggh, yuck. This really defeats the purpose of using LabVIEW, by having an ill-defined API. We couldn't stand it anymore. With TENET GECO Motion, we set out to make motion control a first class citizen in LabVIEW once more. See our solution here: https://promo.tenet-tech.co/motion So recently we just released our first version, and we're continuously looking for feedback to make it better. I'm running a survey to get feedback for your needs and wishes in a motion controller for LabVIEW. We can't get to everything right away, but feedback from the LabVIEW community would be SUPER helpful. Survey is linked here: https://forms.gle/Zz31RcsaX5keS4Pg9. As a token of appreciation, I'll be giving out Starbucks $10USD gift cards to 5 lucky winners. Survey ends by the end of this week, hope to hear from you! 🙏 -John Wu TENET Technologies 2 Quote Link to comment
wangdong Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 非常开心看到这样的信息！我们正在体验NI CRIO /IC3173 之类的ETHERCAT 但是，发现编写其中的SDI接口插件，似乎是很困难的事情。。。 Quote Link to comment
TENET_JW Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 (真難得在LAVA上看到中文啊) 沒錯，NI的EtherCAT支持實在有夠 ... 唉，不想講。您是大陸的朋友是嗎？ 若有運動控制相關的問題，歡迎一起交流。我的微信 ID: sharkera。 Quote Link to comment
Thang Nguyen Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Does your controller support LV RT Linux in cRIO? Quote Link to comment
TENET_JW Posted October 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Yes, our Ethernet version of GECO Motion does support LV RT, both for PXI and CompactRIO. Our LabVIEW API is polymorphic, so you can use the same VIs for Windows development as well as LabVIEW RT development. Pretty neat! For more info, feel free to PM me or leave us a message through our website. https://tenet-tech.co/geco-motion.html -John Quote Link to comment
