Description
The National Instruments PCI-7344 Motion Controller Device (Part number: 778916-04) excels in complex motion control with features such as 3D contouring, 3D linear and circular interpolation, and an impressive up to 62 ms PID loop update rate. It offers a maximum update rate of 62.5 µs/axis and a versatile trajectory update range from 62.5 to 500 µs/sample, catering to precise motion requirements.
With a maximum pulse rate of 4 MHz and a maximum pulse width of 120 ns, it ensures high-speed performance over a voltage range of 0 to 5 V. The device is equipped with four 8-bit digital I/O ports, each programmable individually, adding to its flexibility.
Connectivity is robust, provided by two 68-pin female high-density VHDCI I/O connectors and an RTSI connector, facilitating integration with various systems. The PCI-7344 is compatible with a range of software, including 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, making it a versatile solution for developers.
For hardware compatibility, it requires a computer with a PXI/PCI slot, and for optimal performance, it is recommended to use with a MID-7604 Stepper Motor Drive (Part number: 777936-01), ensuring a complete motion control setup.
