Description
The 778540-06 is a sophisticated piece of hardware categorized under Motion Control HW & SW. This model, identified as PXI-7356, is designed as a 6 Axis Stepper/Servo Motion Controller, offering advanced control for a range of motion applications. It is equipped with Eight 16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converters, providing precise measurement capabilities essential for high-accuracy motion control.
Furthermore, the inclusion of 64 bits of Digital I/O and 16-bit Analog I/O ensures versatile connectivity and integration options with various sensors and actuators, enhancing the system’s adaptability to complex control scenarios. The controller supports multiple Servo Loop Modes, including PID, PIVff, S-Curve, and dual loop, allowing for tailored motion control strategies to match specific application requirements.
The S-curve Time Range of 1 to 32,767 samples enables smooth acceleration and deceleration, minimizing mechanical stress and enhancing the longevity of the motion system. Additionally, the controller can generate stepper output pulse rates of up to 8 MHz (full, half, and micro strip), offering high precision and flexibility for stepper motor control applications.
Ensuring system reliability and safety, the controller features a Watchdog timer function, which monitors system operation and can initiate corrective actions in case of system abnormalities or failures. Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, this model remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, providing ongoing support for users of this advanced motion control hardware.
