Configuration and Installation
This chapter describes how to configure and install the National Instruments PXI/PCI-7340.
Software Installation
Before installing the NI 7340 motion controller, install the NI-Motion driver softwareand, if
appropriate, the NI-Motion VI libraries. For specific installation instructions refer to
Getting
Started with NI-Motion for NI 73xx Motion Controllers
, which is installed in the
NI-Motion/
Documentation
folder where you installed NI-Motion. The default directory is
<Program
Files>\National Instruments\NI-Motion
.
Note
If you do not install the NI-Motion driver software before attempting to use
the NI 7340 motion controller, the system does not recognize the NI 7340 motion
controller and you are unable to configure or use the device.
Controller Configuration
Because motion I/O-related configuration of the NI 7340 motion controller is performed entirely
with software, it is not necessary to set jumpers for motion I/O configuration.
The PXI-7340 and PCI-7340 controllers are fully compatible with the industry standard
PXI Specification
, Revision 2.0 and the
PCI Local Bus Specification
, Revision 2.2, respectively.
This compatibility allows the PXI or PCI system to automatically perform all bus-related
configuration and requires no user interaction. It is not necessary to configure jumpers for
bus-related configuration, including setting the device base memory and interrupt channel.
Safety Information
Caution
The following paragraphs contain important safety information you
must
follow when installing and operating the NI 7340 motion controller and all devices
connecting to the NI 7340 motion controller.
Do not operate the hardware in a manner not specified in this document and in the user
documentation. Misuse of the hardware can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety
protection if the hardware is damaged in any way. If the hardware is damaged, return it to
National Instruments for repair.
Clean the hardware with a soft, nonmetallic brush. Make sure that the hardware is completely
dry and free from contaminants before returning it to service.
