National Instruments' remote input/output technology is suitable for embedded control
National Instruments
CompactRIO Module Development Kit Version 2.0 and RIO Mezzanine Card
National Instruments has launched version 2.0 of its CompactRIO Module Development Kit (MDK) and has introduced remote input/output (RIO) Mezzanine Card, which allow users to add specialised or custom inputs and outputs to packaged and board-level embedded control and monitoring systems.
The latest version of the MDK features a reconfigurable field-programmable gate array (FPGA) communication core that automatically carries out low-level tasks such as module detection, identification and data transfer.
Additionally the unit includes slot-agnostic code generation and an elemental input/output node paradigm, which allow module designers to provide the same quality to users whether the utilise third-party modules or NI modules.
RIO Mezzanine Card (RMC) expansion connectors are now featured on National Instrument’s single-board RIO units. These can provide additional custom circuitry to single-board RIOs, such as a combination of analogue or digital input/output or processor-based peripheral ports.
Key product features
- The MDK is programmed with Labview design software
- It features modular input/output
- Its architecture includes floating-point processors
- RMC connectors expose up to 96 digital I/O lines from the FPGA
