Simplify Connectivity To CompactRIO With APEX
What Is NI CompactRIO?
CompactRIO is a reconfigurable embedded control and acquisition system. The CompactRIO system's rugged hardware architecture includes I/O modules, a reconfigurable FPGA chassis, and an embedded controller. Additionally, CompactRIO is programmed with NI LabVIEW graphical programming tools and can be used in a variety of embedded control and monitoring applications.
Understanding the CompactRIO Platform
CompactRIO, is used to develop deterministic and model predictive control systems. CompactRIO is designed for applications in harsh environments. Temperature ranges of -40 degrees C to 70 degrees C (-40 degrees F to 158 degrees F), 50g shock rating, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and environmental certifications and ratings are available with CompactRIO.
APEX for NI CompactRIO
Simplify? Connectivity to NI CompactRIO in multi-cable or large channel count applications.
