What Is NI Compact FieldPoint?


Take the Compact FieldPoint Virtual Tour

Compact FieldPoint is an easy-to-use, highly expandable programmable automation controller (PAC) composed of rugged I/O modules and intelligent communication interfaces. The Compact FieldPoint I/O modules filter, calibrate, and scale raw sensor signals to engineering units, as well as perform self-diagnostics to look for problems, such as an open thermocouple. Through its built-in Web and file servers, the Compact FieldPoint interface automatically publishes measurements over the Ethernet network.

  • Deploy real-time embedded controllers for stand-alone data logging, advanced analysis, and process control.
  • Access I/O points nearby or miles away on the network using the same simple read and write software framework.
  • Connect virtually any sensor directly to the wide variety of high-accuracy analog and discrete I/O modules.
  • Download your NI LabVIEW application to the embedded controller for reliable, stand-alone operation.
