National Instruments Universal Motion Interface (UMI) Products
Features
- Used for Connectivity
- Used with Motion Control Boards
- Four to Six Axes of Simultaneous or Independent Control
- Suited to Industrial and Laboratory Applications
The National Instruments UMI Products are connectivity accessories that can be used with motion control boards for up to four or six axes of simultaneous or independent control. Ideally suited to industrial and laboratory applications, UMI accessories connect power supplies, servo amplifiers or stepper drivers, motors, encoders, and limit switches to National Instruments plug-in motion control boards.
A UMI accessory simplifies field wiring with separate encoder, limit switch, and amplifier/driver terminal blocks per axis. All terminal blocks are industry standard and do not require any special tools for wire installation. The UMI accessory connects to the motion controller via a single interface cable. The UMI accessory has a host bus monitor power interlock that automatically disables the amplifiers if the host computer is shut down or the interface cable is disconnected.
