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.
