What Is Single-Board RIO?
NI Single-Board RIO is an embedded control system, based on the CompactRIO platform, for rapid commercial development and deployment.
NI Single-Board RIO is an embedded control system, based on the CompactRIO platform, for rapid commercial development and deployment.
Built for Accelerated Custom Embedded Design
Single-Board RIO is designed for high-volume and OEM embedded control and analysis applications that require high performance and reliability. Featuring an open embedded architecture and compact size, this flexible, customizable, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware device is part of an accelerated custom design platform that can help you get your custom embedded control system to market quickly. Built on the CompactRIO platform, you can take advantage of FPGA performance, real-time determinism, and reliability with relatively low nonrecurring engineering compared with custom hardware design.
Key Benefits
- Build Custom Embedded Systems Faster—The CompactRIO Single-Board Controller contains a powerful Zynq All-Programmable System on Chip, along with I/O and power peripherals, and a high-density connector for custom daughterboards. Paired with productive development and deployment software, the complete middleware solution shortens time to market. Learn how to build an sbRIO system
- Use an Open Linux Real-Time OS—You can build applications on NI Linux Real-Time, which combines openness with determinism. With this flexibility, you can program in various languages or extend capabilities with third-party packages. Also achieve tighter timing for control loops or operations with a validated deterministic OS. Learn more about NI Linux Real-Time
- Take Advantage of Approachable FPGA Programming—You can use the NI LabVIEW FPGA Module to program the FPGA of any CompactRIO Controller. The module provides a graphical alternative to HDL that simplifies I/O interfacing and data communication and eliminates the need to define complex timing constraints and place and route settings.
