Description
The Part Number 778440-08 specifies a high-performance component in the category of Motion Control HW & SW. This particular model, designated as PCI-7358, is designed to support a wide range of applications requiring precise motion control. It is capable of managing up to 8 Axis, making it a versatile choice for complex motion tasks.
The Update Rate of the PCI-7358 varies from 62.5 to 500 µs/sample, achieving a maximum of 62.5 µs per 2 axes and 250 µs for all 8 axes. This feature ensures high-speed performance for real-time applications. The motion controller also offers ±1 quadrature count encoder feedback and ±1 LSB analog feedback, providing accurate tracking and positioning.
It has an extensive Velocity Range from 1 to 8,000,000 steps/s and an RPM Range of ±1,200,000 revolutions/min, allowing for high-speed operations. The Position Range and Relative Move Size (Max) of ±2^31 steps indicate its capability for precise and extensive motion control. Additionally, the Encoder Input Count Rate (Max) can reach up to 20 MHz, further emphasizing its high-performance characteristics.
The Motion I/O Voltage Range is defined with an Input Low at 0.8 V and an Input High at 2 V. This specification is critical for ensuring compatibility and optimal performance with various sensors and actuators. The controller supports Up to 24 inputs (0 to 5 V) and includes 8 port Digital I/O Channels, offering extensive connectivity options for integrating with other system components.
For operation, the required hardware includes a Computer with PXI/PCI slot, an NI 7358 motion controller, and a Drive and motor (NI or third-party). The software compatibility spans
