NI Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs)
|
Whether you are designing a new machine or optimizing an existing plant, NI PACs can improve productivity and reduce operating cost by offering an integrated platform for high-speed control, accurate measurements, precise motion, vision, and HMIs.
NI CompactRIO is a small, rugged embedded control and data acquisition system. It contains a real-time processor, a reconfigurable field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and a wide variety of analog and digital I/O modules.
Acquiring accurate and timely measurements is the foundation of any industrialmonitoring or control system. With NI industrial measurement hardware, you can acquire high-speed and high-resolution data evenin the most demanding industrial environments.
NI Smart Cameras combine a charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor and a real-time embedded processor in a small, rugged package. These cameras work with the entire suite of vision algorithms available in the NI vision software platform.
Integrating the benefits of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), PCs, and custom hardware, NI PACs, programmed with LabVIEW, combine PLC reliability and ruggedness, PC processing, and custom circuitry performance. Using NI PACs, you can design, prototype, and deploy industrial systems faster and more economically. 
NI LabVIEW is a powerful graphical programming language without the complexity of traditional development tools.
