CompactRIO - PAC Hardware

Overview

The National Instruments CompactRIO programmable automation controller (PAC) combines real-time and FPGA technologies to deliver high-performance in a small, rugged industrial control and acquisition platform. This low-cost architecture combines a reconfigurable I/O FPGA core to provide the reliability of dedicated hardware circuitry and the performance of true parallel execution in silicon; a real-time embedded processor for stand-alone and distributed deterministic operation with a built-in web-based human-machine interface; and industrial hot-swappable analog and digital I/O modules for direct connection to industrial sensors and actuators. Decrease development time by programming the entire NI CompactRIO embedded system with the NI LabVIEW graphical development environment for industrial applications such as machine control, vibration monitoring, and stand-alone/distributed control and acquisition.
