The National Instruments PCI-7352 is a versatile motion controller designed to support both stepper and servo motor applications across two axes. Its advanced capabilities include fully coordinated point-to-point, circular, linear, gearing, and vector space control, making it suitable for a wide range of motion applications, from simple to complex. The PCI-7352 integrates eight 16-bit analog-to-digital converters for efficient onboard data acquisition and features buffered breakpoints that allow users to trigger signals based on position thresholds at rates of up to 2 kHz, with the option for higher speed periodic breakpoints reaching up to 4 MHz for equally spaced positions. This model is particularly effective for brushless motor control due to its sinusoidal commutation capabilities, and it incorporates static-friction compensation for precise motion control, especially beneficial in applications involving piezoelectric systems.

The PCI-7352 operates effectively in both host-based programming environments and embedded real-time control setups, enabling seamless integration with the appropriate NI Motion driver software to synchronize multiple axes following defined velocity and acceleration profiles. It features two 68-pin female high-density VHDCI I/O connectors, providing extensive connectivity options with eight analog inputs, eight 16-bit analog outputs, and eight 8-bit digital I/O ports. The controller is capable of achieving a maximum PID update rate of 62.5 µs and boasts a power consumption of 18 W. Compact in design, the device measures 6.9 x 3.9 inches and weighs 0.25 lb.

It's important to note that while the PCI-7352 has reached end-of-life status, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves.
