National Instruments PXI-7330

The National Instruments PXI-7330 Stepper Motor Controller offers advanced motion control capabilities utilizing the NI-Motion driver, allowing for seamless adaptability in applications. Available in two configurations—Part Number 779035-02 supports two axes, while Part Number 778444-01 handles four axes—this controller benefits from field-upgradable firmware, ensuring users can easily implement updates without altering existing code. The PXI-7330 is distinguished by its robust functionalities, including dual data protection and machine vision integration, fully leveraging the RTSI bus or PXI trigger without the need for additional wiring, thereby conserving host bus bandwidth. This controller is specifically designed for stepper motors in scenarios requiring basic movement and features dynamic smoothing and multi-stepping capabilities, facilitating smoother motion through continuous micro-stepping. Users can disable multi-stepping when high resolution is not essential. The controller achieves a maximum update rate of 62.5 µs per axis and includes four trigger inputs, with a voltage operating range of 0 to 5 V. It is equipped with two 68-pin female high-density VHDCI I/O connectors and can be programmed using LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Microsoft Visual Basic. The PXI-7330's dimensions are 6.3 x 3.9 in., and it weighs 6 oz. It operates efficiently across a recommended temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and has a storage temperature range of -20 to 70 °C. For detailed guidance, user and maintenance manuals are available for download. The PXI-7330 comes with a three-year warranty. For pricing information, please contact a sales representative.
