Packaged Controllers

Packaged controllers are high-performance, rugged, stand-alone systems that combine customizable software with powerful processing and I/O for any measurement, control, or monitoring application.

packaged controllers are designed for use in hazardous, industrial, and extreme environments

Packaged Controllers for Real-Time Systems

The CompactRIO and Industrial Controller are packaged controllers designed to help you create real-time, stand-alone applications. Both products feature a user-programmable FPGA that you can program using the LabVIEW FPGA Module.

    Platform Modules and Controllers

    Platform modules and controllers integrate with modular hardware platforms that allow you to combine different types of modules in a custom system that leverages shared platform features. NI offers three hardware platforms—CompactDAQ, CompactRIO, and PXI—though all platforms may not be represented in this category.
