National Instruments SMD-7620

The National Instruments SMD-7620 (Part Number: 783013-01) is a high-performance Stepper Motion Drive Device designed for seamless integration with National Instruments motion controllers. Operating with power supply voltages ranging from 24 V to 48 V, the SMD-7620 delivers a customizable current output between 0.1 A and 5 A, thus accommodating a variety of motor specifications. This device features robust I/O connectivity options, including standard Ethernet, which facilitates remote access, configuration, and control over a local area network through its Ethernet port.

The SMD-7620 is equipped with both low-speed and high-speed digital inputs; the high-speed inputs accept 5 V to 24 V logic signals for direction and step commands, typically sourced from a connected motion controller. Additionally, the low-speed digital inputs are versatile for various sourcing, sinking, or differential signal applications. For output, the SMD-7620 includes two configurable digital outputs, which can signal fault conditions or manage the braking mechanism of the connected motor, as well as drive relays, inputs, and LEDs for counters and PLCs. Engineered with integrated safety features, the device ensures reliable operation for connected motors and loads, while advanced smoothing techniques enhance overall drive performance.

The SMD-7620 is compatible with the NI UMI-7772 and is well-suited for industrial environments. While National Instruments has announced the mature status of the SMD-7620, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This product includes a user manual and maintenance manual accessible for download, and is backed by a 2-3 year warranty. For pricing details, please contact a sales representative.
