Real-Time Embedded Controllers for PXI
Real-Time Embedded Controllers for PXI
a real-time OS, you must purchase a LabVIEW Real-Time run-time
license with your Windows-based controller.
PXI Hardware for Real-Time Applications
The modularity of PXI and open connectivity of LabVIEW make it
easy to integrate a variety of I/O within your application. You can
take advantage of the timing and triggering functionality of PXI to
synchronize measurements across several I/O devices, increasing the
performance of your real-time system.
Create a custom real-time embedded solution using an RT Series PXI
Embedded Controller with any number and combination of PXI plug-in
modules. Built-in LabVIEW libraries help you create powerful
applications with data acquisition, dynamic signal acquisition,
motion control, image acquisition, and CAN communication. Use
NI-VISA to integrate third-party PXI/CompactPCI modules in your
application. In addition, the RT Series PXI controllers include built-in
Ethernet and serial ports. You can use these built-in ports to
communicate with peripheral devices while reserving slots in the PXI
chassis for other measurement I/O devices. Table 2 lists all of the PXI
hardware you can use with LabVIEW Real-Time, with page references
for additional information.

Integration with Mac OS X
The LabVIEW Real-Time Module and PXI are your solution for
data acquisition, GPIB, serial, and Ethernet communication within
the Mac OS X environment. Build your application on a host Mac
OS X computer and download it directly to an RT Series embedded
PXI controller.
PXI-8176 RT
The PXI-8176 RT is a high-performance PXI
embedded controller capable of running a
single PID loop at 39 kHz. With the 1.26 GHz
Pentium III processor, the PXI-8176 RT is a
high-end, real-time controller.
PXI-8175 RT
The PXI-8175 RT contains an 866 MHz
Intel Pentium III processor capable of
running a single PID loop at 30 kHz.
PXI-8145 RT
The PXI-8145 RT controller is ideal for
low-cost, real-time applications. This series
of PXI controllers includes a low-power
Pentium 266 MHz processor capable of
running a single PID loop at up to 6 kHz.
The controllers module can withstand
higher vibration and shock because it
uses nonvolatile CompactFlash memory.
With the single-board architecture and
low-power processor, NI built this controller
for embedded applications where space
is limited.
