Description
The National Instruments PXI-7340 PXI Motion Controller, identified by part number 190977B-01 and alternative part numbers 779036-02 and 777935-01, falls under the category of Motion Control HW & SW. This model, known as the PXI-7340, is designed to provide up to 4 axes of synchronous, coordinated motion control, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.
The architecture of the PXI-7340 features a dual-processor design, incorporating a 32-bit CPU and DSP alongside custom FPGAs. This robust architecture is intended to deliver high performance and reliability for motion control applications. The controller also includes 8 analog inputs and 4 analog outputs, allowing for flexible interfacing with external devices.
With a maximum update rate of 62.5 us/axis, the PXI-7340 is capable of handling demanding motion control tasks with precision. Its closed-loop control system utilizes a DSP for position tracking, PID closed-loop control, and motion trajectory generation, ensuring accurate and reliable motion control.
The PXI-7340 runs on an embedded RTOS kernel to achieve optimal performance in real-time applications. It is compatible with a range of software, including NI-Motion driver software, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, and AKD WorkBench. This wide range of software compatibility allows users to easily integrate the PXI-7340 into their systems and develop custom motion control applications.
For configuration and setup, the PXI-7340 utilizes the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), a powerful tool for configuring NI hardware and software. The physical dimensions of the PXI-7340 are 6.3 x 3.9 inches, making it compact enough to
