Servo motor control

Hi, I want to control 2 servo motor. Can PXI-7344 directly control these motors without additional servo drive? 

Thank you in advanced!

Hi there,

 

The servo (or stepper) motor drive is the component that delivers power to the motor.  It is the "muscle" in the system.  The PXI-7344 is a motion controller, it is only the "brains" in the system.  The PXI-7344 is not able to drive motors directly.

 

By the way, the PXI-7344 is no longer in production from NI.  Here is a replacement product that will suit your motion control needs in LabVIEW: GECO Motion.
