Embedded Control

"Ford has a long history with NI, and we have used LabVIEW to develop various aspects of every fuel cell electric vehicle that we produce and to successfully design and implement a real-time embedded control system for an automotive FCS."

- Kurt D. Osborne - Ford Motor Company

NI Tools Keep Ford at the Forefront of Innovation

To reduce maintenance costs and maximize energy production, wind turbine control design teams are developing advanced control systems that take advantage of today’s advanced embedded system platforms. NI LabVIEW software provides a high-level control design environment that creates a seamless transition to deployment hardware on reconfigurable field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based embedded platforms such as NI CompactRIO hardware. These programmable automation controller (PAC) systems combine traditional digital control capabilities with advanced high-speed analog I/O and unparalleled real-time signal processing performance.

Software for Embedded Control

The NI graphical system design platform reduces development costs and shortens time to market with the ability to design, prototype, and deploy embedded systems with NI LabVIEW graphical software and modular off-the-shelf hardware. You can take advantage of the NI embedded platform to reduce the cost of your embedded design.

• Perform advanced control beyond proportional integral derivative (PID)
• Use more than 500 included signal processing and analysis functions
