Dual gigabit Ethernet interface for PXI Express
29 October 2008
Test & Measurement
National Instruments has announced its first high-performance dual gigabit Ethernet interface for PXI Express. The NI 8234 module offers two gigabit Ethernet ports with up to 1000 Mbps transfer speeds per port for high-performance machine vision and dedicated LAN/LXI instrument control networks. The new module features a x4 PCI Express interconnect, providing up to 1 GBps bandwidth for realtime data streaming from a single PXI Express slot, to give engineers and scientists more available slots for other PXI instrumentation, data acquisition and bus interface modules.
Based on the Intel 82571EB gigabit Ethernet controller, the 1000 Mbps Ethernet ports offer a substantial performance increase from 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet. Compatible with the GigE Vision camera interface for machine vision applications, the NI 8234 delivers high-speed image transmission rates for standard cabling at distances up to 100 metres.
The NI 8234 is also suitable for LAN and LXI instrument control applications using dedicated private networks. Combined with the NI LabVIEW graphical system design platform, the module simplifies the use of LAN and LXI for distributed instrument control applications by connecting multiple Ethernet-based instruments with a single interface.
