The FlexRIO controller is designed for designers with high-performance embedded applications, while the Single-Board RIO controller is for designers requiring greater flexibility in their embedded applications. These controllers integrate the latest embedded technologies from Intel and Xilinx to deliver unparalleled performance and flexibility, enabling system designers and machine builders to tackle the most challenging control and monitoring needs. The controllers are fully compatible with LabVIEW software, the LabVIEW FPGA module, and NI Linux Real-Time, now based on Security-Enhanced Linux, which adds advanced security features for IoT.
To meet the evolving requirements of the IIoT, NI's platform combines intelligent systems, connectivity, and system-to-system communications, along with analytical software tools designed to deliver business insights and customer value.
Key Features
High-Performance CompactRIO Controller
• Intel Atom Processor: Closes the loop faster, handles more tasks with the same controller, and processes data with greater precision, accuracy, and speed with the fastest 1.91 GHz quad-core processor available in a CompactRIO controller.
• Kintex-7 FPGA: Performs online processing across more channels and implements more complex filter and control algorithms.
• NI Real-Time Linux: Access a broad application and IP community with a secure and robust 64-bit Linux-based real-time OS.
• Embedded User Interface: Incorporates a local HMI and uses the control system to customize and control HMI tasks, dramatically reducing component costs, as well as integration and development time.
• Secure Digital (SD) Storage: Customize how you store, manage, and access data.
Controller for FlexRIO
• Kintex-7 FPGA: Implements high-speed control algorithms and advanced signal processing compatible with over 30 high-performance I/O adapter modules.
• Compact size: Faster scalability and transition from PXI prototyping to deployment on the 1.75 x 5.5 x 9.2 in. controller with minimal software changes.
• Dual-core ARM processor: Take advantage of standalone operation when used with NI's Linux Real-Time OS.
RIO Single-Board Controller
• NI Zynq System-on-Chip (SoC) with Linux Real-Time: Boost performance with a dual-core 667 MHz ARM processor, Artix-7 FPGA, and a robust real-time OS.
• Optimized for your system: Leverage a more flexible, board-based form factor to embed intelligence in smart industrial systems.
• Code reuse: Minimize investments as you move from prototyping to deployment and scale systems over time to meet application requirements.
