CompactRIO systems
January 1st 2008 National Instruments has released
the new NI cRIO-9072 and cRIO-
9074 CompactRIO systems that
give engineers and machine
builders a solution for rapidly
deploying industrial machines at
high volume.
The systems have an integrated
hardware architecture that
combines an embedded real-time
processor and a reconfigurable
FPGA within a single chassis,
lowering the cost of CompactRIO
for OEM applications. Engineers
can quickly design, prototype and
deploy the customisable,
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
hardware systems for embedded
machine control and data
acquisition systems using the
National Instruments LabVIEW
graphical development
environment, eliminating the need
to design custom embedded
hardware for high-volume
deployment.The new systems
extend the family of NI FPGAbased
deployment platforms,
including PXI, PC and standard
CompactRIO hardware that share a
standard embedded hardware
architecture combining a floatingpoint
processor, a reconfigurable
FPGA and I/O modules. More articles from National Instruments UK Limited: |
