LabVIEW for Industrial Measurement and Control

National Instruments LabVIEW software delivers unparalleled flexibility and ease of use in demanding industrial measurement, automation, and control applications. You can deploy NI LabVIEW programs to networked programmable automation controllers (PACs) to create reliable distributed measurement and control systems as well as to connect to your existing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and enterprise systems.

LabVIEW Benefits for Control

LabVIEW is designed for industrial measurement and control with features such as:

  • Domain-specific software algorithms for custom control, vibration monitoring, and machine vision
  • Advanced I/O including high-speed analog, digital, vibration, vision, and motion control
  • Communication to PLCs, industrial control systems, OPC clients, and enterprise databases
  • Deployment to real-time PACs for reliability
  • Powerful tools for SCADA and HMI visualization
