Modules deliver more analog I/O for industrial applications

3 November 2004 Test & Measurement

National Instruments' Compact FieldPoint and FieldPoint analog modules deliver high-channel-count analog inputs with 16-bit resolution and combination analog input and output.

These modules - cFP-AIO-610, FP-AIO-610, cFP-AI-112 and FP-AI-112 - are suited for systems that require accurate manipulation of analog measurements.

Industry analysts categorise Compact FieldPoint as part of a new line of products called programmable automation controllers (PACs) that combine the reliability and ruggedness of the PLC with the software functionality and flexibility of an industrial PC. Using PACs, engineers can create analog and discrete control, user-defined data logging, Web-enabled applications and advanced control algorithms.

The cFP-AI-112 and the FP-AI-112 are 16-bit, 16-channel analog input modules designed for high-channel-count voltage input systems. The cFP-AIO-610 and FP-AIO-610 are 12-bit, four input/four output analog I/O modules.
