Description
NI 9505 Servo Drive Module
The NI 9505 is a full-bridge servo drive module designed by National Instruments (NI) for use with the CompactRIO (cRIO) platform. It provides a high-performance interface for controlling brushed DC servo motors.
## Product Overview
The NI 9505 is a single-axis, power-efficient motor drive. Unlike traditional drives that require external wiring to a motion controller, the NI 9505 plugs directly into any C Series chassis. It allows developers to implement custom motion control algorithms using LabVIEW FPGA, providing ultra-low latency and high-speed deterministic control.
## Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
| Channels | 1 Single-axis Brushed DC Drive |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 VDC to 30 VDC |
| Continuous Current | 2 A (at up to 70°C) |
| Peak Current | 12 A (for short durations) |
| PWM Frequency | Up to 20 kHz |
| Encoder Interface | Supports Incremental Encoders (RS-422/TTL) |
| Digital I/O | 1 Home Switch, 2 Limit Switches, 1 Hall Effect input |
| Protection | Overcurrent, Overvoltage, Undervoltage, and Thermal |
## Key Advantages
-
FPGA Integration: Since it connects directly to the cRIO FPGA, you can write custom control loops (PID, notch filters, etc.) that execute at rates up to 20 kHz.
-
Space-Saving Design: Its compact C Series form factor eliminates the need for bulky external motor drivers and extensive cabling.
-
Direct Sensor Connectivity: Features built-in inputs for encoders and limit switches, simplifying the wiring for a complete motion system.
-
Reliability: Built for industrial environments with high shock and vibration resistance.
## Important Considerations & Precautions
-
Power Supply: Ensure the external power supply matches the motor’s voltage requirements and does not exceed 30 VDC. Exceeding this may damage the module.
-
Heat Dissipation: While the module is rated for 2 A continuous current, ensure adequate ventilation within the cRIO chassis if operating at high loads or in high-ambient temperatures.
-
Fusing: It is highly recommended to use an external fuse between the power supply and the $V_{sup}$ terminal to protect against short circuits.
-
Grounding: Proper common-grounding between the NI 9505, the power supply, and the motor is essential to prevent electrical noise and signal integrity issues.
## Product Applications
The NI 9505 is ideal for applications requiring high precision and custom control logic:
-
Robotics: Controlling joints and actuators in autonomous mobile robots or robotic arms.
-
Medical Devices: Precision fluid pumps, scanning beds, or surgical assistance tools.
-
Industrial Automation: Pick-and-place machines, labeling systems, and precision X-Y stages.
-
Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL): Testing motor controllers or simulating mechanical loads in a real-time environment.
