National Instruments 778440-02 Motion Controller Device.

The part number 778440-02 from National Instruments is the identifying part number for the PCI-7350 Motion Controller Device. This device is designed to control both stepper and servo motors in complex applications equipped with 8 axes making it ideal for a variety of industrial, laboratory, and automation tasks that require precise and efficient motion control. The 778440-02 can control brushless or brushed DC servo motors, piezo motor systems, and many other servo devices. The device has trajectory update rate ranges of 62.5 µs/sample to 5 ms/sample for (Servo) and 62.5 to 500 µs/sample for (Stepper), while it has 2 axes per 62.5 µs PID Rate.

This device has 68-pin female high-density motion I/O connector and 68-pin female high-density 32-bit digital I/O connector. The motion I/O connectors contain all the necessary signals required for closed-loop motion control of up to eight axes. The digital I/O connectors contain 64 bits of digital I/O and 12 inputs for four Hall effect sensors. Motion I/O Connector 0 deals with Axes 1-4 and the Motion I/O connector 1 provides access to Axes 5-8. This device has a maximum step frequency of 8 MHz accommodating full, half, and micro step. It has 24 inputs 3 per axis and 8 outputs 1 per axis, enhancing accuracy of the motion control applications.

This device is designed to operate at an ambient temperature of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius and storage temperature of  –20 to 70 degrees Celsius with a relative humidity of 10% to 90% RH, noncondensing. It requires to be mounted at an maximum altitude of 2000 meters with a pollution degree of 2.

This device has physical dimensions of 6.9 in. × 3.9 in making it compact and weighs 0.25 lb making it lightweight and easy to integrate into digital systems. The 778440-02 Motion Controller Device has power consumption of 18 Watts with power requirements of +3.3 Volts to -12 Volts and - 2 A to 0 mA. Additionally, this device also features 8 digital I/O ports with 8 bits each and 2 PWM Outputs at (50 kHz, 8-bit). This device is supported by a software driver NI-Motion.
