190979B-04

Description

The Part Number for this product is 190979B-04, which falls under the Category of Motion Control HW & SW. This particular model, known as PCI-7334, is a NI PCI-7334, 4 Axis Stepper Motion Controller. It is designed to efficiently manage motion control systems.

The core of this controller is powered by a Motorola MC68331, a 32-bit, real-time processor, ensuring high performance and reliability for critical applications. Additionally, it incorporates an ADSP-2185 DSP for advanced signal processing capabilities. An essential part of its architecture is the included FPGA, which provides flexibility and customization for specific motion control tasks.

One of the standout features of the PCI-7334 is its ability to control up to 4 coordinated or independent axes. It supports both servo axes (closed-loop) and stepper axes (open/closed-loop), offering versatility for various application requirements. The Analog Command Outputs are ±10 V, suitable for a wide range of actuation mechanisms.

From an interfacing perspective, the controller is equipped with 4 analog inputs and 32 bit digital I/O, allowing for comprehensive connectivity with external devices. The Connectors used are 68-pin high-density female VHDCI, ensuring secure and reliable connections.

For optimal operation, certain Required Components are specified, including MID-7604 (777936-01), SHC68-C68-S (186380-0R5), UMI-7764 (777978-02), and SH68-C68-S (186381-02). These components ensure the system’s functionality and compatibility with a range of peripherals and interfaces.

Despite its Obsolete Status, announced by National Instruments, this model remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users can continue to rely on the PCI-7334 for their motion control needs without concerns about availability.
