PXI is a high performance industrial platform designed for large or high speed data acquisition and control systems. Modular cards enable reconfiguration and a super fast PXI-E backplane and industrial controller manages data and processing

Compact Data Acquisition (cDAQ) units are ideal for a modular measurement system. These units provide an ethernet or USB interface to a host controller (PC) which is used to run the data logging or control software.

There are a large number of PXI cards from a large number of manufacturers. PXI provides an unparalleled interface for data acquisition at high speeds and at a large data density. The PXI-E backplane can handle data at bandwidths of up to 6GB/s.

The cRIO platform uses the same reconfigurable modules as the cDAQ but adds a realtime controller and FPGA enabling the system to be run without the need for a connected host PC. Control and acquisition systems are deterministic enabling closed loop control systems suitable and high performance measurements.

Flex logger combines software with a cRIO or cDAQ to provide a simple data logging system. Users can generate voltages, digital signals and currents to drive actuators and control targets and set-points. The reconfigurable platform offers a large amount of control and data acquisition out of the box.

As well as hardware platforms from National Instruments we work with other leading manufactures of industrial controllers. This Beckhoff system provides high quality scalable IO with an Ethercat backbone which enables distributed synchronisation between systems and IO. We can help you choose the right controller based on your system requirements.
