Description
The product with the part number 186357-14 falls under the category of Motion Control HW & SW. It is identified as model PCI-7324 and described as a 4 Axis Step, Closed Loop Motion Controller Board. This model operates in either open or closed-loop modes and accepts quadrature encoders for velocity and position as feedback mechanisms.
The stepping modes available for this device include micro-stepping, half, and full stepping, ensuring versatility in motion control applications. The PCI-7324 is compatible with PCI Local Bus Specs, Rev 2.1, ensuring a reliable connection to a wide range of computer systems.
Configuration of the device is software accessible, though it may require some adjustments via jumpers, offering flexibility in setup. Connectivity is facilitated through one 68-Pin Digital I/O and one 68-Pin Motion I/O connector, providing ample connection options for various peripherals and devices.
Motion control is enhanced by trapezoidal profile control, with the ability to adjust the acceleration factor at lower speeds for precision movements. Additionally, the board supports event-based motion profiling, allowing for complex motion sequences to be executed based on specific events.
For optimal operation, certain accessories are required, including the UMI-7764 Universal Motion Interface (777978-02), and the SH68-C68-S Cable (186381-0R5, 186381-01, 186381-02). Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, this product is still available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring ongoing support for users.
