The National Instruments ISM-7413 Integrated Stepper Drive and Motor Device (Part Numbers: 783603-01 and 783604-01) combines a NEMA 24 stepper motor and integrated control communication circuitry into a single solution tailored for simple single-axis motion applications. This device is particularly advantageous for users seeking a streamlined setup, eliminating the complexities associated with independently sourcing a motor and stepper drive. The ISM-7413 facilitates rapid deployment, enabling users to operationalize their systems within minutes.

It requires an external power supply, sold separately, as third-party unregulated power supplies are not recommended; however, the integration of the SMD-7700 regeneration clamp can help alleviate common tripping issues associated with unregulated supplies. The device supports compatibility with contemporary Ethernet standards, allowing operation over a LAN with the correct software installed on the host system. Configuration of the IP address is simplified with a multi-position rotary switch. Users can set this switch to position F for automatic acquisition of an IP address from an IP server or DHCP server, or manually configure it to a specific IP address by selecting the corresponding position.

The motor integrated into the ISM-7413 boasts a maximum torque of 340 oz-in. While National Instruments has announced the mature status of the ISM-7413, the device remains available for purchase and repair through Apex Waves. The dimensions of this product are 2.22 x 3.03 x 4.94 inches, weighing 56 ounces. A user manual and maintenance manual are available for download to assist with setup and operation.
