I am in Malaysia now. To be detailed, the motion card I used for xyz automated storage and retirieval system with 3 servo motor. My intention is to compare between PID and fuzzy controller on that system. I am really constraint with the budget and time especially. Only 3.5 months only for me to complete my MSc projecty. Expected to get outcome by March. Could I do the programming offline. Without using the PCI 7344 card?

If you install NI-Motion drivers (available on our website: Link), you can add a 'virtual' 7344 motion board in Measurement and Automation Explorer. This will allow you to build NI Soft Motion or LabVIEW motion programs without actually having your PCI-7344 board installed. There are also a number of motion example programs available to get you started. 

Good luck with your project!

does this mean that i can used the fuzzy logic algorithm.

TQ,

The PCI-7344 has PID control built in, you can not change it to fuzzy logic. However, you can create a fuzzy logic motion control system using a real-time controller and DAQ board with our NI-Soft Motion software and the Control Design Toolkit (for fuzzy logic design). This is quite possible, but would require a solid understanding of LabVIEW, RT, motion, and fuzzy logic . . . and quite a bit of time. I hope this helps you out - good luck on your project!

I also wanted to add a few links that might help:
