PACKAGED CONTROLLERS
Platform Modules and Controllers
Platform modules and controllers integrate with modular hardware platforms that allow you to combine different types of modules in a custom system that leverages shared platform features.
NI offers three hardware platforms—CompactDAQ, CompactRIO, and PXI—though all platforms may not be represented in this category.
Expansion Module for CompactRIO
Expansion Module for CompactRIO
The Expansion Module for CompactRIO connects to the processor I/O, such as USB and Ethernet, of a controller to expand its functionality. This module works with CompactRIO Controllers, Industrial Controllers, CompactRIO Single-Board Controllers, and PXI Controllers to expand the capabilities of the system, such as adding additional storage for saving more data and increasing the number of USB or time-sensitive networking (TSN) Ethernet ports of the system. Additionally, the Expansion Module for CompactRIO features the same rugged shock and vibration ratings as other CompactRIO modules, and you can can mechanically connect it to a controller for integration using mounting accessories.

CompactDAQ Controller
CompactDAQ Controller
The CompactDAQ Controller is a rugged, reliable, high-performance embedded controller with industry-standard certifications. It is ideal for performing waveform acquisition and inline software analysis while logging data to onboard or removable SD memory. C Series modules deliver high-accuracy I/O with measurement-specific signal conditioning to connect to any sensor type. The controller also offers a wide array of standard connectivity and expansion options, such as USB, Ethernet, CAN/LIN, and RS232 serial. It runs either the NI Linux Real-Time OS or Windows Embedded Standard 7. You can customize and deploy your measurement application with support for multiple programming languages, including LabVIEW, which contains over 950 signal processing and analysis functions to accelerate development.

CompactRIO Controller
CompactRIO Controller
CompactRIO Controllers are embedded controllers with a real-time processor and a user-programmable FPGA. They range from full rugged systems to single-board RIO products that serve as single board computers (SBCs) and system on modules (SOMs).

Stand Alone or Computer Based Devices
Stand-alone or computer-based devices either integrate with standard desktop and laptop computers or allow you to use them without the need for other modular hardware.
Industrial Controller
Industrial Controller
Industrial Controllers are high-performance, fanless controllers that provide connectivity for communication and synchronization to EtherCAT and Ethernet CompactRIO chassis, EtherCAT motion drives, GigE Vision and USB3 Vision cameras, and other automation equipment. Controllers also have onboard isolated, transistor‐transistor logic (TTL), and differential digital I/O. You can use LabVIEW system design software to create, debug, and deploy logic to both the onboard FPGA and the processor. LabVIEW contains over 950 signal processing, analysis, control, and mathematics functions to accelerate development.
