Description
The part number 186307C-04 refers to the PCI-7344 model, which is designed for advanced motion control applications. This model boasts a range of features including 3D contouring, 3D linear and circular interpolation, and an impressive up to 62 ms PID loop update rate. These capabilities make it particularly suited for stepper/servo control applications.
The device offers a flexible update rate, ranging from 62.5 to 500 µs/sample trajectory, with a maximum of 62.5 µs/axis. When it comes to stepper outputs, the PCI-7344 can achieve up to 4 MHz maximum pulse rate, with a 120 ns maximum pulse width, and operates within a 0 to 5 V range.
For enhanced connectivity and programming flexibility, this model includes four 8-bit digital I/O ports, which are programmable individually. Connection options are robust, featuring two 68-pin female high-density VHDCI I/O for motion and digital I/O, as well as an RTSI connector for high-speed connectivity.
Compatibility with software is broad, supporting LabVIEW 8.5 or later, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, LabWindows/CVI 8.5 or later, AKD WorkBench Software, and NI-Motion 7.6 or later. This ensures that users can integrate the PCI-7344 into a wide range of development environments.
Hardware requirements for the PCI-7344 include a computer with PXI/PCI slot, MID-7604 Stepper Motor Drive (777936-01), MID-7654 Servo Motor Drive (778005-01 and 778005-05), SHC68-C68-S 0.5 m Cable (186380-0R5), and a
