Description

The ValueMotion servo and stepper boards are servo/stepper motor controllers for ISA, PCI, and PXI bus computers. These boards provide fully programmable motion control for up to four independent... axes of motors, with additional I/O for limit and home switches as well as other general-purpose functions. You can use these boards in position or velocity control applications, with support for point-to-point position, velocity profiling, and event-based motion profiling modes.

With the servo boards you can control servo motors and always operate in closed-loop mode. These boards use quadrature encoders for position and velocity feedback and ±10 V analog outputs for command. Closed-loop stepper boards control stepper motors and can operate in open or closed-loop mode. They use quadrature encoders for position and velocity feedback, and step/direction or clockwise (CW)/counter-clockwise (CCW) digital outputs for command. Open-loop stepper boards do not include the quadrature encoders and can operate only in open-loop mode. All stepper boards support full-, half-, and microstepping applications.

The NI nuDrive accessory is a complete power amplifier and system interface for use with up to four axes of simultaneous or independent servo or stepper motion control. Ideally suited to industrial and laboratory applications, nuDrive has everything you need to connect motors, encoders, limit switches, I/O and other motion hardware to National Instruments plug-in motion control boards. nuDrive simplifies your field wiring through separate encoder, limit switch, and motor power removable screw terminal connector blocks per axis. The terminal blocks do not require any special wiring tools for installation. The nuDrive connects to ValueMotion PCI and ISA boards via a 50-pin ribbon cable, to ValueMotion PXI boards via a 68-pin cable with bulkhead adapter, and to FlexMotion boards via a 100-pin, high-density interconnect cable.The ValueMotion servo and stepper boards are servo/stepper motor controllers for ISA, PCI, and PXI bus computers.

Buying used equipment doesn't always have to be a shot in the dark. We know there are plenty of differences when it comes to used equipment and quite often, choosing between different pieces is difficult, especially when the equipment is not sitting right in front of you.

Well, what if you were able to see a piece of equipment before you purchased it? Not just a picture from the manufacturer's website, but the actual piece of equipment you would receive.

With InstraView™, we move you one step closer to inspecting the equipment you're interested in without having to wait for the equipment to show up at your door.

InstraView™ works in your web browser and allows you to view the actual piece of equipment you're interested in before purchasing. You can zoom in close to see the labels with the serial number or zoom out to see the overall condition of the equipment.

It's like having the store come to you!
