This section includes information about the architecture for both the 73xx
family of NI motion controllers and the NI SoftMotion Controller.
NI 73xx Architecture
NI 73xx controllers use a dual-processor architecture. The two processors,
a central processing unit (CPU) and a digital signal processor (DSP), form
the backbone of the NI motion controller. The controller plugs into a
variety of slots, including PCI slots, or to a PC using a high-speed serial
interface, such as IEEE 1394 (FireWire
