The NI PXI-7358 is the first 8-axis stepper or servo motion controller packaged as a 1-slot 3U PXI module. It offers many advanced features, including sinusoidal commutation for brushless motors. NI 735x motion controllers are available in 2-, 4-, 6-, and 8-axis versions for PXI and PCI. Synchronizing Multiple Axes for Parallel Mechanism Applications Because NI 735x controllers can control up to eight axes, they are ideal for high-axis parallel mechanisms where all axes need to be tightly synchronized. Using the NI-Motion driver software, you can start all axes at once and have each axis follow the acceleration and velocity profiles you have defined. This is useful when working with parallel mechanisms such as hexapods when the axes must move simultaneously. Motion Control and LabVIEW Real-Time Many motion applications require very high reliability and integration with other types of I/O. NI PXI motion controllers are compatible with the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module, with which you can create an integrated motion and I/O system that runs embedded in a real-time OS. A PXI motion controller with a PXI RT Series controller can run LabVIEW Real-Time and function as a stand-alone Ethernet-based motion controller. With this technology, you can create distributed motion control systems that integrate tightly with data acquisition or vision. Static-Friction Compensation The frictional force present before an object starts moving is called static friction. Static friction is often higher than dynamic friction (frictional force present during motion) and if the difference between the two is large enough, it can make the system difficult to tune. The static-friction compensation feature of the NI 735x motion controllers compensates for this difference in friction for easier tuning and precise control. Piezoelectric systems exhibit high static friction and can benefit from the static friction compensation feature of the NI 7350 series motion controllers. In addition, to help you tune your system, NI offers the free Piezo Tuning Wizard. After tuning your system using the Piezo Tuning Wizard, you can easily program the system using LabVIEW software and NI Motion Assistant just as you would program any other system. I/O Capabilities NI 735x motion controllers have diverse I/O that is useful in many motion applications. You can use the 64 bits of digital I/O for a wide variety of applications such as opening or closing valves or turning on and off solid-state relays using the SSR adapter. These motion controllers also have eight channels of 16-bit analog I/O useful for reading potentiometers or other analog measurements. High-Performance Stepper/Servo Motion Controllers speed is the new buffered high-speed position capture for NI 735x controllers. This feature captures positions based on a trigger from an external source or from a data acquisition or machine vision device. The high-speed capture can capture positions at rates of up to 2 kHz per axis. Sinusoidal Commutation Brushless servo motors require sinusoidal commutation. Although many advanced motor drives have built-in commutation capability, many lowercost drives require the motion controller to provide commutation. With sinusoidal commutation, offered by the NI 7350, you can obtain the smoothest possible motion with a brushless servo motor and a lower cost drive. Note that when using the sinusoidal commutation feature, use two axis resources for each drive you connect to. This is because two analog outputs are needed to provide the commutation. Additional Features For the NI 735x controllers, your PID update rate can be 62.5 µs for up to two axes. This means that for multiaxis applications, the PID rates can be twice as fast as those for previous boards. An NI 735x also has increased resolution for analog-to-digital conversion, giving you high resolution for analog position feedback.

Using this feature, you can send a buffer of position breakpoints to the controller that trigger a digital signal upon reaching the positions in the buffer. Buffered breakpoints can trigger at rates as high as 2 kHz. For equally spaced positions, you can use periodic breakpoints to achieve even higher speeds of up to 4 MHz. With periodic breakpoints, you supply a position modulus. Each time the position reaches that modulus position, the breakpoint triggers.
