Controllers:

A range of controllers with a wide choice of bus standards, processors, core numbers and operating frequencies, and many other parameters.We offer NI chassis and rack-mount controllers with CompactRIO, FlexRIO, RoboRIO, PXI/PXIe, and VXI bus standards.CompactRIO systems provide high-performance processing capabilities, sensor-specific conditioned I/O, and a closely integrated software toolchain that make them ideal for Industrial Internet of Things, monitoring, and control applications. FlexRIO products are designed for engineers and scientists who need the flexibility of custom hardware without the cost of custom design. Featuring large, user-programmable FPGAs and high-speed analogue, digital, and RF I/O, FlexRIO provides a fully reconfigurable instrument that you can program graphically with LabVIEW or with VHDL/Verilog.The roboRIO is a reconfigurable robotics controller that includes built-in ports for inter-integrated circuits (I2C), serial peripheral interfaces (SPI), RS232, USB, Ethernet, pulse width modulation (PWM), and relays to quickly connect the sensors and actuators commonly used in robotics.PXI systems provide high-performance modular instruments and other I/O modules that feature specialized synchronization and key software features for test and measurement applications from device validation to automated production test.PXIe offers a higher bandwidth option – up to 24GB/s compared with PXI’s maximum 132MB/sVXI bus is a standard for automated test. It is based on the VME bus, and stands for VME eXtensions for instrumentation.Available processors include Intel Atom, Xeon, and Core, as well as Xilinx Zynq and ARM Cortex. Operating frequencies range from 400MHz to 3.9GHz. There are also choices for number of processor cores, RAM memory size, hard drive capacity, number of slots, and operating temperature ranges.Further choices include chassis compatibility, supported OS, and systems that the controllers can be used with.
