Motion Control using Stepper Motors: cRIO vs. PCI/PXI

$

Hello everyone.

Firstly I want to introduce my problem for which I am looking for a solution:

 

I want to control 2 separate stepper motors, both with encoder feedback in a closed loop system.

Additionally, I need to be able to measure analog voltage signals (4-6 total) and 2 rotational frequencies from a generator's encoder (ttl signal).

 

I solved similar tasks using DAQ devices, but as I want to expand the project, I thought about different solutions.

 

After gathering some information, the question is rather to use compactRIO systems or PCI/PXI.

 

I am not very familiar with applications in compactRIO. However, I find the motion control using PXI very handy.

 

Any thoughts about the best/most handy way to solve the issue is highly appreciated.

 

Cheers,
J W
