Can NI 9474 or NI 9237 be used to control motor pumps

[balsur]

Hi,

I am using cDAQ-9172 as the data aquisition system and I am planning to control a motor pump to run fluids, can modules NI 9474 or NI 9237 be used to control the pump?  I know that NI 9505 which is a full H-bridge brushed DC Servo Drive Module which can be used to control pumps is not compatible with the cDAQ system.  I am very new to this, please help me with it.

Thanks

Hi,

I think some more information about your motor is needed, specific information about what types of control signals it requires along with what voltage it needs as well as current draw/ device name/model number would be helpful.  The NI 9474 can supply 5-30V with a 1A max per channel as can be found in the product manual. Please post back with your motor specs and we will be much better equipped to help.
