With the proper drive, you can use NI 734x motion controllers for stepper/servo motor control and piezoelectric control. These controllers also have four general-purpose analog inputs that you can use in simple application monitoring or as feedback for closed-loop control. Distributed Control with LabVIEW Real-Time You can use the NI-Motion driver software with the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module. With this technology, you can create powerful, distributed motion control systems using a PXI RT Series controller, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, and a PXI-734x motion controller. You can program this type of system using LabVIEW on a separate computer. The main advantages of a real-time system are high reliability and the capability to create powerful distributed motion control solutions that connect to the main PC using standard Ethernet.

NI also provides contouring capability for more complex moves. NI 734x controllers use a highperformance motion controller architecture. The CPU and DSP components operate together to optimize closed-loop control, automate systems control, and implement motion command processing functions. The onboard CPU uses an embedded real-time operating system that has event-driven multitasking control. With this state-of-the-art approach, several motion control programs and processes can operate simultaneously on the controller, independently of the host PC and with no outside program interaction unless the host program or user configuration initiates it. Mid-Range Stepper/Servo Motion Controllers NI 7340 Connector Pinouts (two 68-pin VHDCI connectors) Axis 1 Dir (CCW) Digital Ground Digital Ground Axis 1 Home Switch Trigger 1 Axis 1 Inhibit Axis 2 Dir (CCW) Digital Ground Digital Ground Axis 2 Home Switch Trigger 2 Axis 2 Inhibit Axis 3 Dir (CCW) Digital Ground Digital Ground Axis 3 Home Switch Trigger 3 Axis 3 Inhibit Axis 4 Dir (CCW) Digital Ground Digital Ground Axis 4 Home Switch Trigger 4 Axis 4 Inhibit Digital Ground Breakpoint 1 Breakpoint 3 Digital Ground Analog Output Analog Output Analog Output Ground Analog Input 1 Analog Input 3 Analog Reference (Output) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 Axis 1 Step (CW) Axis 1 Encoder Phase A Axis 1 Encoder Phase B Axis 1 Encoder Index Axis 1 Forward Limit Switch Axis 1 Reverse Limit Switch Axis 2 Step (CW) Axis 2 Encoder Phase A Axis 2 Encoder Phase B Axis 2 Encoder Index Axis 2 Forward Limit Switch Axis 2 Reverse Limit Switch Axis 3 Step (CW) Axis 3 Encoder Phase A Axis 3 Encoder Phase B Axis 3 Encoder Index Axis 3 Forward Limit Switch Axis 3 Reverse Limit Switch Axis 4 Step (CW) Axis 4 Encoder Phase A Axis 4 Encoder Phase B Axis 4 Encoder Index Axis 4 Forward Limit Switch Axis 4 Reverse Limit Switch Host +5 V Breakpoint 2 Breakpoint 4 Shutdown Analog Output Analog Output Reserved Analog Input 2 Analog Input 4 Analog Input Ground +5 V PCLK Reserved Reserved PWM1 Reserved Reserved Reserved PWM2 Port 1:bit 0 Digital Ground Port 1:bit 3 Port 1:bit 4 Digital Ground Port 1:bit 7 Port 2:bit 0 Port 2:bit 1 Digital Ground Digital Ground Digital Ground Port 2:bit 6 Port 2:bit 7 Port 3:bit 0 Digital Ground Port 3:bit 3 Port 3:bit 4 Digital Ground Port 3:bit 7 Port 4:bit 0 Digital Ground Port 4:bit 3 Port 4:bit 4 Digital Ground Port 4:bit 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 Digital Ground Digital Ground Digital Ground DPull Digital Ground Reserved Digital Ground Digital Ground Digital Ground Port 1:bit 1 Port 1:bit 2 Digital Ground Port 1:bit 5 Port 1:bit 6 Digital Ground Digital Ground Port 2:bit 2 Port 2:bit 3 Port 2:bit 4 Port 2:bit 5 Digital Ground Digital Ground Port 3:bit 1 Port 3:bit 2 Digital Ground Port 3:bit 5 Port 3:bit 6 Digital Ground Port 4:bit 1 Port 4:bit 2 Digital Ground Port 4:bit 5 Port 4:bit 6 Digital Ground 9 43 10 44 11 45 12 46 13 47 14 48 15 49 16 17 18 19 20 50 51 52 53 54 45 46 47 14 48 15 49 16 50 17 51 18 52 19 53 20 54 21 55 22 56 23 57 24 58 25 59 26 60 27 61 28 62 29 63 30 64 31 65 32 66 33 67 34 68 21 55 22 56 23 57 24 58 25 59 26 60 27 61 28 62 29 63 30 64 31 65 32 66 33 67 34 68 Motion I/O Connector Digital I/O Connector Ordering Information NI PCI-7342 (2 axes) ..............................................................778916-02 NI PCI-7344 (4 axes) ..............................................................778916-04 NI PXI-7342 (2 axes) ..............................................................779036-02 NI PXI-7344 (4 axes) ..............................................................779036-04 Includes NI-Motion software libraries and examples.
