National Instruments has announced that it has redesigned the compact cRIO-9068 software-designed controller using LabVIEW technology and I/O compatibility with the CompactRIO platform.
Based on the LabVIEW reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture, the new CompactRIO controller is designed to meet any demanding embedded control and monitoring task without wasting development time and cost. Engineers and scientists worldwide use the CompactRIO platform to build systems that can suppress fires on cargo airplanes, generate electricity through the flight of tethered kites and precisely stack 20 tons of wet concrete.
The new cRIO-9068 controller features four times faster performance than previous generations, powered by a 667 MHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA and new Linux-based real-time OS that provides greater flexibility for both LabVIEW Real-Time and C/C++ application developers
David Fuller, VP of Applications and Embedded Software at National Instruments said, Because so many customers have invested in CompactRIO, we took this redesign extremely seriously. Our R&D teams re-examined every part of the controller’s design and made sweeping improvements while maintaining complete backward code compatibility.
The cRIO-9068 controller, programmed with LabVIEW system design software, enables engineers and scientists to use a single, graphical development environment to take advantage of improved hardware performance. The new NI cRIO-9068 software-designed controller is part of the most advanced and open system design platform for embedded control and monitoring systems.
