What Cables Should I Use for My Motion Controllers to Access the Motion and Digital Lines?Hardware: Motion Control>>Controllers>>PCI-7344
Problem: What NI-Motion cables and accessories can I use to access the individual motion I/O and digital I/O lines on my 7330-, 7340-, or 7350-series motion controller? Solution: The 7330-series and 7340-series motion controllers which have 4 or fewer axes (such as the 7332 and 7344) come with two high-density, 68-pin female VHDCI connectors: one for the motion control lines and the other for the digital I/O lines. The 7340- and 7350-series controllers which have more than 4 axes (such as the 7348 and 7358) come with four high-density, 68-pin female VHDCI connectors: two for the motion control lines and two for the digital I/O lines. The last digit in the model name of an motion controller indicates how many axes it can control. The cable needed for the motion control lines depends on whether you will be using a UMI-7764 or a MID-76xx motor drive. MID-76xx motor drives use a high-density, 68-pin male VHDCI connector, so you would need the SHC68-C68-S cable (P/N 186380-02). The UMI-7764 uses a larger 68-pin .050 series connector, specifically the SH68-C68-S with D-Type Connector (P/N 186381-02), which is the same one used for most DAQ boards. To gain access to the digital lines of your motion controller, you would use a typical connector block, such as the SCB-68. These connector blocks use the same cables as the UMI-7764 and DAQ boards, mentioned directly above. Example: For a PXI-7358 and a third party amplifier, you will need the following to access all the motion I/O and digital I/O lines individually:
