Extended Temperature NI Single-Board RIO Devices Deliver a More Rugged Solution for Embedded Deployment

“The addition of the extended temperature range boards to the NI Single-Board RIO product line demonstrates the commitment NI has to OEMs seeking to deploy their applications into harsher environments,” said John Hanks, vice president of industrial and embedded product lines at National Instruments. “With these new devices and LabVIEW graphical development tools, our OEM customers are able to solve a new set of embedded control and acquisition applications faster than using traditional SBCs and software tools.”



The new boards include up to 32 single-ended/16 differential channels of analog input and up to four channels of analog output at 16-bit resolution, 110 lines of 3.3V/TTL digital I/O and up to 32 lines of 24 V digital input/output. Additionally, all NI Single-Board RIO devices feature a 19 to 30 VDC power supply input, an Ethernet and RS232 serial port for communication, three expansion connectors for integrating additional NI C Series I/O and communication modules and nonvolatile storage for data logging.



These new extended temperature range devices, along with all NI RIO hardware products can be programmed using the NI LabVIEW graphical system design platform. LabVIEW tools ease the burden of board-level programming by including all of the middleware and drivers needed to easily interface with analog, digital and communication I/O; integrate Web publishing and data-logging capabilities; and much more. Engineers and embedded developers can rapidly design, prototype and deploy the real-time and FPGA-based NI Single-Board RIO devices using thousands of built-in control and processing functions within LabVIEW FPGA and LabVIEW Real-Time modules for increased productivity and faster time to market.
