Description
The part number 778540-08 refers to a specific product in the category of Motion Control HW & SW. This product is identified as model PXI-7358, which is an 8 Axis Stepper/Servo Motion Controller. It operates within a voltage range of +/- 10 V and offers a resolution of 16 bits. The velocity range of this controller spans from 1 to 8,000,000 steps/s, with an acceleration capability of +/- 1,200,000 steps/s. Additionally, it can handle revolutions per second (RPS/s) within a range of +/- 256,000 revolutions.
The device features a Watchdog Timeout of 63 or 256 rms, ensuring system safety and reliability. The voltage range for IO is specified as 0 to 5 V, with an Input Low Voltage of 0.8 V and an Input High Voltage of 2 V. When connected to a host at 5V, it consumes a current of 100 mA. The controller is equipped with 64 Digital I/O Channels, enhancing its connectivity and integration capabilities.
For operation, this controller requires a computer with a PXI/PCI slot, an NI PXI 7358 unit, and either NI or third-party drive and motor components. It is compatible with several software platforms, including NI-Motion driver, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, and offers optional compatibility with NI Motion Assistant. This model boasts features such as buffered breakpoints and the ability to handle periodic breakpoints up to 4 MHz.
Although it has been declared obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring that users can still benefit from its advanced motion control capabilities.
