National Instruments offers RIO devices for high-volume monitoring and control tasks
National Instruments
NI cRIO-908x systems and NI sbRIO-9605/06 devices
National Instruments has further expanded its reconfigurable I/O (RIO) platform with what it claims is its smallest single-board RIO device yet and a multicore Compact RIO system.
NI cRIO-908x systems feature an Intel Core i7 dual-core processor, Xilinx Spartan-6 field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and the option of a Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7) OS configuration for monitoring and control applications.
They are designed for performing complex signal processing and control within applications such as rapid control prototyping, advanced motion control and machine vision.
NI sbRIO-9605/06 devices, on the other hand, are sized from less than 102.87 x 96.52mm and offer greater customisation and I/O support than previous versions, making them suitable for embedded monitoring and control applications in the energy and medical industries.
Key features
cRIO-908x
- Intel Core i7 dual-core 1.33GHz processor
- Xilinx Spartan-6 LX150 FPGA
- Can be configured with a WES7 OS
- Two Gigabit Ethernet ports, MXI Express port, four USB ports, RS232 and RS485 serial ports
- CPU expansion module (CXM) enables custom connectivity and expansion
sbRIO-9605/06
- 400MHz processor
- Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA
- Built-in peripherals include RS232, CAN, USB and Ethernet
- High-density and high-bandwidth connector allows direct access to the FPGA and processor, as well as further customisation
