Fast realtime controller

10 April 2002 Computer/Embedded Technology

Engineers can now create high-speed realtime systems capable of executing control loops up to 40 kHz with National Instruments' fastest RT Series PXI embedded controllers - the NI 8176 RT and the NI 8175 RT.

The NI 8176 RT is a rugged controller that boasts a 1,2 GHz processor and runs LabVIEW realtime control applications up to 300% faster than other realtime controllers and up to 28% faster than the PXI 8170 RT, previously NI's most powerful realtime controller. The second new controller, the NI 8175 RT, is built on the same architecture as the NI 8176 RT and contains an 866 MHz processor. Both controllers come ready-to-run with an embedded LabVIEW realtime run-time engine and feature built-in 100Base-TX Ethernet for open network connectivity.

Engineers can create customised, integrated applications with the LabVIEW realtime module and then download the applications to either of these powerful controllers for guaranteed deterministic performance. Because the controllers include built-in support for hardware I/O, engineers can combine them with a variety of PXI plug-in modules - from data acquisition, signal conditioning, dynamic signal acquisition, motion control and serial and CAN connectivity - and even interface with third-party PXI/CompactPCI plug-in modules through NI-VISA software.

The PXI systems are modular, so there is the flexibility to easily exchange or upgrade hardware to meet ever-changing application requirements.
