Description
The PCI-7344 with part number 190976C-04 is a high-performance motion controller card designed for precision control in industrial environments. It boasts a PID loop update rate of up to 62 ms, ensuring rapid response to control inputs and system changes. The trajectory update range is quite flexible, ranging from 62.5 to 500 µs/sample, which allows for smooth motion profiles and precise control over motion trajectories.
It features a maximum update range of 62.5 µs/axis, enabling high-speed control of each connected axis. The maximum pulse rate supported by this card is 4 MHz, with a minimum pulse width of 120 ns, ensuring accurate and fast response times for motion control applications. The voltage range supported is 0 to 5 V, allowing for a wide range of motion control tasks.
The PCI-7344 comes equipped with four 8-bit digital I/O ports, providing ample connectivity options for interfacing with external devices and sensors. For further expansion, it includes two 68-pin female high-density VHDCI I/O connectors and an RTSI connector, offering robust and versatile connection options for complex motion control setups.
Software compatibility is extensive, supporting LabVIEW 8.5 or later, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, LabWindows/CVI 8.5 or later, AKD WorkBench Software, and NI-Motion 7.6 or later. This ensures that the PCI-7344 can be integrated into a wide range of development environments and applications, providing flexibility in programming and implementation.
Hardware requirements for the PCI-7344 include a computer with a PXI/PCI slot, along with specific motor drives and cables such as the MID-7604 Stepper Motor Drive (777936-01), MID-7654 Servo Motor Drive (778005-01, 778005-05), SHC68-C68-S 0.5 m Cable (186380-0R5), and the UMI-7774 Universal Motion Interface (778558-01 or UMI-7772/74), ensuring compatibility
