LabVIEW FPGA Hardware TargetsThe National Instruments LabVIEW FPGA Module targets a growing family of NI reconfigurable I/O (RIO) devices as shown in Figure 1. Use R Series data acquisition (DAQ) devices for complex data acquisition or real-time I/O applications. Develop custom FPGA logic on an NI compact vision system to add custom triggering, PWM signals, motion control, or custom communications protocols to machine vision applications. Use the National Instruments CompactRIO platform for modular FPGA-timed I/O with built-in signal conditioning and direct signal connectivity for maximum flexibility in embedded measurement and control applications. Use the NI PXI timing and synchronization device, also known as "the slot 2 controller," to implement custom timing, triggering, and synchronization techniques across multiple PXI systems. R Series DAQ Devices
National Instruments PCI or PXI R Series plug-in DAQ devices provide analog and digital data acquisition and control for high-performance, user-configurable timing and synchronization, as well as onboard decision making. With R Series RIO devices and NI LabVIEW FPGA, you can extend your PXI or PCI measurement and control system by adding user-defined hardware for operations such as custom discrete and analog control, sensor simulation, digital protocol emulation, and precise custom timing and control. CompactRIO NI CompactRIO is a small, industrially rugged, modular control and acquisition platform that gives you high-performance I/O and unprecedented flexibility in system timing. You can use CompactRIO as signal conditioning for an R Series DAQ device or to build an embedded system for applications such as in-vehicle data acquisition, mobile NVH testing, and embedded machine control systems. Among other industrial certifications and ratings, the CompactRIO system is designed for greater than 50 g of shock and has a -40 to 70 °C temperature range. Compact Vision System National Instruments Compact Vision System is a rugged machine vision package that withstands the harsh environments common in robotics, automated test, and industrial inspection systems. NI CVS-145x devices offer unprecedented I/O capabilities and network connectivity for distributed machine vision applications. CVS-145x systems use IEEE 1394 (FireWire) technology, compatible with more than 40 cameras with a wide range of functionality, performance, and price. CVS-1455 and CVS-1456 devices contain configurable FPGAs for implementing custom counters, timing, or motor control into your machine vision application. |
