Measure and Control in Real-Time with CompactRIO
CompactRIO Controllers offer a powerful real-time solution for applications that require rugged and reliable high-performance measurements and control. With a real-time operating system and a programmable FPGA, CompactRIO controllers offer ease of use with the NI-DAQmx driver and robust synchronization with TSN. Additionally, they offer deterministic operation with NI Linux Real-Time, abstracted access to the FPGA with NI LabVIEW FPGA, and the flexibility to connect to any sensor on any bus.
Boost Productivity with the DAQmx Driver
NI-DAQmx, a data acquisition (DAQ) driver, is used with NI DAQ hardware. The graphical nature and the multitude of ready-to-use functions makes this driver great for waveform acquisition and control, up to 5 kHz.
Reduce Development Time
Overcome the traditional challenges of programming heterogeneous architectures with the combination of NI Linux Real-Time and NI LabVIEW FPGA, which allows you to develop your system faster by programming both the real-time processor and the user-programmable FPGA with a single, intuitive software toolchain.
Simplify System Topology with TSN
Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a special version of the IEEE 802.1 Ethernet standard that delivers distributed time synchronization and deterministic transfer of time sensitive data. With TSN, there’s no need to align data after acquisition, because all systems share a common notion of time.
Make Effective Downstream Decisions
C Series modules deliver high-accuracy I/O with measurement-specific signal conditioning that connect to any sensor or device on any bus. With these high-accuracy analog designs, integrated signal conditioning, and precision timing, you can make more effective decisions.
Use an Open and Secure Platform
Boost security and reliability with native support for Security-Enhanced Linux, which delivers mandatory access control through custom policy creation. Access thousands of open-source applications, IP, and examples and collaborate with an active community of users and developers.
