4 channel independent motion controll adressing

[Karlheinzs]

I want to run four indepent motion/plc programs with each system using one axis and one analog output as a channel of the same motion controll card (PCI 7344)

Each indepentent system has its own bottons for starting different setions of a semi automated process and these processes are intependent in timing.

Can this be done with one 4 axis PCI 7344 NI motion card?

The answer is short and simple: yes.
You only need to make sure that the controller is initialized before you start your four applications and that you don't share resources between the programs.
