Two low-cost PXI embedded controllers

NI announces two low-cost PXI embedded controllers for test, measurement and control applications, that deliver optimal value and up to 40 percent increased performance

National Instruments has announced two new low-cost embedded controllers - the PXI-8104 and PXI-8183 - that deliver exceptional performance for value-based test, measurement and control applications With these new controllers, engineers and scientists can apply PXI in a variety of new applications across many industries including consumer electronics, automotive, semiconductor, telecommunications and aerospace and defense

The NI PXI-8104 is an Intel Celeron M440 processor-based embedded controller for use in PXI and CompactPCI systems.

With its 1.86GHz processor and dual-channel 533MHz DDR2 memory, the PXI-8104 controller offers 41 percent 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 lowest-cost Windows-based PXI embedded controller from NI at GBP949 (euro1,349) is ideal for high-volume OEM and industrial control applications.

The two-slot embedded controller features an 850 MHz 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.
