NI PCI-7342

2-Axis Stepper/Servo Controller for PCI

Configure Page for: Print PDF Rich Text
  • 2 axes can be configured as either stepper or dc motor controller
  • Mid-range option for servo motor control
  • Easy integration with data acquisition (DAQ) and vision systems
  • Programming with NI LabVIEW
  • Compatibility with NI Motion Assistant software


With the National Instruments PCI-7342 board, you can configure two axes for stepper or servo motor control while taking advantage of linear interpolation, 32 bits of digital I/O for high-speed capture, and the RTSI bus for powerful real-time integration. When configured as a servo motor controller, this motion control card offers a 62.5 micro second update rate per axis and special auto tuning functions in software. This low-cost, high-performance board is ideal for 2-axis, automated test applications in a range of industries, including biotechnology and semiconductor.
