Description
The 190974F-06L (778540-06) is a sophisticated piece of motion control hardware and software categorized under Motion Control HW & SW. This product, known by its model number PXI-7356, is a powerful 6 Axis Stepper/Servo Motion Controller designed to meet various industrial requirements. It is equipped with Eight 16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converters, providing the capability to precisely convert analog signals into digital data for processing.
In addition to its analog capabilities, this controller boasts 64 bits of Digital I/O, allowing for extensive interfacing with digital devices, and 16-bit Analog I/O for high-resolution analog signal processing. The PXI-7356 supports multiple Servo Loop Modes, including PID (Proportional Integral Derivative), PIVff (Proportional Integral Velocity Feedforward), S-Curve, and Dual Loop for versatile motion control strategies. The S-Curve Time Range is adjustable from 1 to 32,767 samples, providing flexibility in motion profiling and ensuring smooth accelerations and decelerations.
For applications requiring high-speed stepper motor control, the controller can output stepper pulses at a Maximum Pulse Rate of up to 8 MHz, supporting full, half, and micro stepping modes for precise movement and positioning. To enhance operational safety and reliability, a Watchdog Timer is implemented as a safety mechanism, monitoring the system’s operation and taking predefined actions in case of a malfunction.
Although it has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, this advanced motion controller remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for users relying on this critical piece of technology in their motion control systems.
