Machine Automation

The LabVIEW Industrial Control Platform has the flexibility and features to solve complex machine automation applications with requirements such as closed-loop discrete control, custom multiaxis motion control, custom programmable logic, integrated machine vision, interactive HMI, data logging, Web connectivity, and real-time signal processing. LabVIEW also helps you create machine automation solutions reliable enough to perform time-critical operations and rugged enough to withstand environmental conditions.

Because LabVIEW is a full-featured graphical programming language, you benefit from both rapid development and the ability to program low-level functions. This sets LabVIEW apart from traditional programmable logic languages that lack flexibility and cannot adequately meet complex machine automation requirements. Machine automation system designers can choose from more than 500 built-in analysis routines, including those for common control algorithms such as PID and frequency analysis, and they can program advanced control and connectivity through networking functions.
