NI announces two low-cost PXI embedded controllers for test, measurement and control applications
25 April 2008
New controllers deliver optimal value and up to 40 per cent increased performance.
National Instruments has announced two new embedded controllers, the PXI-8104 and PXI-8183, with which engineers and scientists can apply PXI in a variety of applications across many industries including consumer electronics, automotive, semiconductor, telecommunications and aerospace and defense.
The NI PXI-8104 is an Intel Celeron M 440 processor-based embedded controller for use in PXI and CompactPCI systems. With its 1.86 GHz processor and dual-channel 533MHz DDR2 memory, the PXI-8104 controller offers 41 per cent performance improvement compared to its predecessor, the NI PXI-8195 controller. Engineers can use the new controller to create a PC-based platform that offers an optimal balance of performance and value.
The NI PXI-8183, the company’s lowest-cost Windows-based PXI embedded controller at £949 is suitable for high-volume OEM and industrial control applications. The two-slot embedded controller features an 850MHz Intel Celeron processor and provides a highly cost-effective and compact platform when combined with a PXI-compatible chassis, such as the NI PXI-1036.
The PXI-8104 and PXI-8183 controllers are also available in versions that support NI LabVIEW Real-Time and LabWindows/CVI Real-Time software to deliver a flexible, rugged platform for deterministic and real-time measurement and control. Using PXI-based real-time systems, engineers can leverage powerful processors, high-level software development tools and off-the-shelf PXI I/O modules to quickly create and deploy systems in a variety of applications such as hardware-in-the-loop test, rapid control prototyping and industrial measurement and control.
