The National Instruments FW-7344 is a versatile Stepper/Servo Motion Controller designed for applications requiring high-performance motion capabilities. As part of the NI-7340 family, this controller supports both stepper and servo motor configurations across four axes, accommodating a wide range of motion tasks. It is compatible with the NI-Motion driver software and can be seamlessly integrated with development tools such as LabVIEW, LabWindows, NI Motion Assistant, Visual Basic, and C/C++. The FW-7344 operates effectively on Windows operating systems including XP, NT, and 2000, making it accessible for various setups.
Engineered for mid-range motion applications, the FW-7344 excels in executing both straightforward and complex motion sequences, offering features such as straight-line vector moves and point-to-point stepper motor applications. It includes a sophisticated PID loop control with a response time of 62 microseconds and supports feedback mechanisms via quadrature encoders or analog signals. The controller is designed for enhanced motion profiles, incorporating blended motion and two- or three-dimensional interpolation with electronic gearing.
With a compact form factor measuring 12.1 by 10.0 by 1.7 inches, the FW-7344 operates optimally within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and has a maximum power consumption of 30 W. It connects via a 68-pin female high-density VHDCI I/O connector, ensuring reliable communication and control. The FW-7344 is backed by a three-year warranty, and comprehensive user and maintenance manuals are available for download. For pricing details, please contact a sales representative.
