    Description

    The PCI-7342 is a high-performance 2-Axis Stepper/Servo Motion Controller designed for a wide range of motion control applications. With a part number of 186307C-05, this controller falls under the category of Motion Control HW & SW. It is engineered to provide precise control and is equipped with an embedded real-time operating system for efficient task management.

    This controller boasts fully coordinated gearing, linear, and circular control capabilities along with contouring capability, making it versatile for complex motion tasks. The PID update rate is adjustable from 62.5 to 500 μs/sample, allowing for fine-tuning of control parameters to meet the specific requirements of an application. Additionally, the maximum step frequency reaches up to 4 MHz, and the encoder input rate can handle speeds up to 20 MHz, ensuring high precision and responsiveness in motion control.

    Regarding power efficiency, the PCI-7342 has a modest power consumption of 5.7 W, making it an energy-efficient option for continuous operation. It also features 32 digital I/O channels for interfacing with external devices and sensors, and 2 PWM outputs with a frequency of 32 kHz each for additional control possibilities.

    The inclusion of an RTSI connector ensures easy integration with other devices, enhancing system scalability and flexibility. The controller is supported by NI-Motion driver software, simplifying the setup and configuration process for users. Despite its robust capabilities, the PCI-7342 maintains a compact form factor with dimensions of 6.9 x 3.9 in. and a weight of only 170 g, allowing it to be easily incorporated into a variety of system designs.
