Description
The PCI-7314 is a highly sophisticated 4 Axis Step, Open Loop Motion Controller Board designed for advanced motion control hardware and software applications. With its part number 186357A-04, this board falls under the category of Motion Control HW & SW, offering a tailored solution for a variety of motion control challenges.
This board operates in an Open-Loop control mode, capable of managing up to 4 axes, making it a versatile choice for multi-axis applications. It supports various stepping modes, including Half, Full, and Micro-Stepping, providing the flexibility needed to match the precision requirements of different projects.
For programming, the PCI-7314 accommodates a wide array of developers by offering a Programming Interface that includes ValueMotion or ValueMotion VIs, along with API support for languages such as C, Visual Basic, and others. This ensures that integration into existing systems or the development of new applications can be done with ease.
The board features a high-density, 68-pin female connector for connectivity, alongside 24-bit Digital I/O Ports accessible via a 68-pin female VHDCI connector. This high level of connectivity allows for comprehensive control and feedback mechanisms to be implemented, enhancing the overall functionality of the motion control system.
It is compatible with +5 V PCI expansion slots and is designed to work seamlessly with Windows-based computers, ensuring a broad compatibility with the majority of PC-based control systems. To fully utilize the PCI-7314, 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 classified as obsolete, the PCI-7314 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, providing a valuable option for systems that require this specific controller board’s capabilities.
