NI PXI-7340

NI PXI-7340 The NI PXI-7340 is a PXI motion controller module in the NI 7340 family. NI documents it as a combination servo and stepper motor controller for PXI, CompactPCI, and PCI systems, with the PXI-7340 being the PXI version. The photos confirm the base model marking "NI PXI-7340," but no specific order-code variant is visible, so configuration beyond the documented model-level specifications is unverified.

Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

NI identifies the NI 7340 as a combination servo and stepper motor controller, and the user manual explicitly covers the NI PXI-7340 or PCI-7340 motion controller. The PXI-7340 is therefore a primary controller module rather than an accessory, and NI states that the 7340 motion controller provides motion control for up to four independent or coordinated axes.

For motion functions, NI specifies ±10 V analog command outputs for servo operation. For stepper control, the controller supports step/direction or CW/CCW outputs with a maximum pulse rate of 4 MHz and output voltage of 0 to 5 V. NI also specifies quadrature, incremental, single-ended encoder inputs with a 20 MHz maximum count rate, plus dedicated per-axis motion I/O including limit and home inputs, breakpoint outputs, trigger inputs, and encoder feedback.

The PXI-7340 also integrates onboard processing and general-purpose I/O resources. NI specifies a 32-bit CPU, DSP, and custom FPGAs, with onboard execution of up to 10 simultaneous motion programs. The hardware includes 32 bits of digital I/O, four user analog inputs within a bank of eight multiplexed single-ended analog inputs, four single-ended analog outputs rated at ±10 V and 16-bit resolution, and two PWM outputs up to 50 kHz with 8-bit resolution.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

What is the NI PXI-7340?

It is a PXI motion controller module in the NI 7340 family. NI documents the 7340 as a combination servo and stepper motor controller, and the manual explicitly covers the NI PXI-7340 or PCI-7340 motion controller.

How many axes does the PXI-7340 support?

NI states that the 7340 motion controller provides motion control for up to four independent or coordinated axes.

Does the PXI-7340 support both servo and stepper motors?

Yes. NI specifies ±10 V analog command outputs for servo operation and stepper outputs configurable for step/direction or CW/CCW operation.

What front-panel connections are documented for the PXI-7340?

NI lists two 68-pin VHDCI front-panel connectors: one for motion I/O and one for digital I/O.

Is a specific PXI-7340 order-code variant confirmed here?

No. The photos confirm the base model marking NI PXI-7340, but no official order code or suffix is visible, so only shared model-level specifications are confirmed.
