National Instruments PCI-7354

The National Instruments PCI-7354 (Part Number: 778440-04) is a sophisticated 4-axis motion controller designed for a variety of applications, ranging from basic to complex motion needs. This device supports both stepper and servo motors and is particularly advantageous for high-axis parallel systems that require precise synchronization. It incorporates eight 16-bit analog-to-digital converters for enhanced data acquisition, facilitating advanced triggering and motion trajectory control. The PCI-7354 is equipped with 12 input channels and 4 output channels, operating within a voltage range of 0 to 5 V, in addition to featuring eight 8-bit digital I/O ports and 2 PWM outputs with a frequency of 50 kHz.

The controller utilizes patented step generation technology, ensuring smooth motion control across its four axes. With a high PID update rate of up to 62.5 µs, users benefit from improved performance and enhanced analog position feedback resolution. Furthermore, the PCI-7354 features a maximum step output rate of 8 MHz and an encoder input rate of 20 MHz, making it capable of handling demanding motion tasks.

Constructed with a 68-pin female high-density VHDCI motion I/O and digital I/O connector, the PCI-7354 has a power consumption of 18 Watts and is compatible with standard PCI slots. Although National Instruments has announced the obsolescence of this model, it remains available through Apex Waves for purchase and repair. The device is fully compatible with the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module, allowing users to create integrated I/O and motion control systems embedded in a real-time operating environment.
