Part Number: 778540-02

The National Instruments 778540-02 PXI Motion Control Module, designated as the PXI-7352, is specifically designed to control both stepper and servo motors across two axes, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and laboratory applications requiring precise motion control. This module facilitates advanced interpolation techniques, including linear, circular, spherical, and helical, ensuring smooth motion profiles and high-speed performance for complex tasks. It delivers a PID update rate ranging from 62.5 to 500 µs/sample, accommodating up to eight axes at a 250 µs PID update rate.

Operating in ambient conditions of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius and supporting storage temperatures from -20 to 70 degrees Celsius, the device maintains reliable performance with a relative humidity tolerance of 10% to 90% RH, non-condensing. With a maximum operational altitude of 2000 meters and a pollution degree of 2, the module is robustly constructed for diverse environments. The 68-pin female high-density VHDCI-type motion I/O connector supports all signals necessary for closed-loop motion control, while the digital I/O interface offers 64 bits of digital I/O and inputs for four Hall effect sensors. Motion I/O Connector 0 is designated for Axes 1-4, and Motion I/O Connector 1 accommodates Axes 5-8.

This module supports a maximum step frequency of 4 MHz and is capable of full, half, and micro-stepping for enhanced resolution, featuring inputs and outputs with 16-bit resolution. The compact design measures 16 cm by 10 cm (6.3 by 3.9 in.), with a maximum power consumption of 18 Watts and power requirements of 2 A at +3.3 Volts, 2 A at +5 Volts, 30 mA at +12 Volts, and 0 mA at -12 Volts. Additionally, it includes configurable digital TTL I/O ports and PWM outputs operable at 50 kHz. The module is supported by the NI-Motion software driver and is compatible with National Instruments' LabVIEW, NI Motion Assistant, and Measurement Studio software environments.
