Hardware specificationsHardware specifications

NI PCI/PXI-7344 Flexmotion (2500 €):4 axis: each servo or stepper + encoder8 MHz stepper motor output20 MHz quadrature, incremental encoder inputsHome and limit switches2D and 3D trajectoriesEmbedded CPU and DSP running an event-driven

multitasking RTOS with high-level programming features

DPAP interface functionalAlarm can be an analog input

Software developmentSoftware development

VME board drivers (ready):VPAP, VCT6, CC133, ICV150, ICV196, ICV712

New features:Crate Off/On and board missing conditions

detectionBoard status/use available to users in /proc fsGeneral hook service support VME and PCIVPAP channels can be read in the hookCC133 can interrupt when index found without

reseting counterICV196 increased flexibility

Software developmentSoftware development

PCI board drivers:Bit3, NI-7433 (closed), RocketPort 32 (Serial

Lines)Automatic detection of PCI board positioning,

ensure same logical IDs when boards are added/removed/moved (PCIEnum)

Device servers:MaxeVpap: functional, CC133 being addedMaxeFlex: functional, encoder being addedVct6: in porting phaseSerial lines: functionalVacuum: in porting phase
