NI SoftMotion Development Module


View the Multimedia Overview
10 Minute presentation on the NI SoftMotion Development Module

The NI SoftMotion Development Module for LabVIEW is for machine builders and OEMs creating custom motion controllers for better machine performance, and for researchers implementing advanced motion control design algorithms using National Instruments CompactRIO, plug-in DAQ modules, plug-in R Series devices, or Compact FieldPoint.

  • Enables custom motion control system development in software
  • Includes LabVIEW VIs for trajectory generation, spline interpolation, position/velocity control, and encoder implementation on FPGA
  • Works with NI CompactRIO, Compact FieldPoint, and plug-in R Series and M Series DAQ devices
  • Is ideal for machine builders, OEMs, and researchers
