Description
The PXI-7332 is a 2 Axis Stepper Motion Controller designed for sophisticated motion control applications. This controller, identified by its part number 190978F-02, which has been corrected to 779035-02, falls under the category of Motion Control Hardware and Software (HW & SW), ensuring a high level of precision and control in automation setups.
It is compatible with both PXI and PCI slots, and can be used with NI or third-party drive and motor systems, offering flexibility in system design and integration. The PXI-7332 supports a variety of software including the NI-motion driver, Microsoft Visual Basic, LabVIEW, and Microsoft Visual C++, enabling easy programming and customization based on project requirements.
The controller boasts a trajectory update rate range from 62.5 to 500 µs/sample, ensuring rapid response and smooth motion control. Multiaxis synchronization is achieved in less than one update sample, highlighting its efficiency in coordinating complex motion tasks.
Equipped with four 8-bit TTL, sink/source 24 mA outputs, and two open-loop PWM outputs, it offers versatile connectivity options. The controller utilizes a 68-pin female high-density VHDCI connector, providing a secure and reliable connection.
Operational efficiency is highlighted by its power requirements of 1 A at +5 VDC (±5%) and a maximum power consumption of 5.7 W. Safety is prioritized with features like a watchdog timer and shutdown input, ensuring system protection and reliability.
Although it has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the PXI-7332 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring support for existing setups and applications.
