Description
The PXI-7344 is a 4 Axis Stepper/Servo Motion Controller, available as a board-only configuration, designed to cater to diverse motion control hardware and software needs. Its part number is 186304-01, with an alternative part number 777935-01, indicating its unique identification for procurement and support purposes.
This controller falls under the category of Motion Control HW & SW, emphasizing its role in facilitating precise and versatile motion control solutions. It is engineered to support 4-Axis control, enhancing its utility in complex motion applications.
One of the key features of the PXI-7344 is its compatibility with multiple bus systems including PXI, PCI, and 1394, providing flexibility in system integration and connectivity. It is capable of running up to 10 concurrent motion programs, thereby enabling sophisticated motion sequences and control strategies to be executed simultaneously.
The servo update rate is impressively quick at 62 µs per axis, which ensures high precision and responsiveness in servo control applications. Furthermore, it supports a high encoder feedback rate of up to 20 MHz, allowing for precise position monitoring and control.
With 32 bits of digital I/O and 8 multiplexed, 12-bit resolution analog input channels, along with 4 analog output channels and 4 digital I/O ports (8-bit), this controller offers extensive interfacing capabilities for a wide range of sensors and actuators. Additionally, it features RTSI bus support for enhanced synchronization and communication between modules.
The motion I/O connector is a 68-pin female VHDCI, providing a reliable and high-density connection interface for motion devices. Software support includes compatibility with LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, BridgeVIEW, and FlexMotion, offering a versatile platform for developing and deploying motion control applications.
Designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C, the PXI-7344 ensures reliability and performance under varied environmental conditions. Additionally, its
