Overview
The NI Compact FieldPoint programmable automation controller (PAC)
is designed for industrial control applications performing advanced
embedded control, data logging, and network connectivity.
It combines the packaging, specifications, and reliability of a
programmable logic controller (PLC) with the software, flexibility,
connectivity, and functionality of a PC. Compact FieldPoint, a reliable
platform designed for rugged industrial environments, features 2,300 V
transient overvoltage protection, -40 to 70 °C temperature range, and
backup power supply connections to protect against primary power failure.
The cFP-22xx controllers include an industrial 400 MHz Freescale
MPC5200 real-time processor for intelligent distributed applications
requiring industrial-grade reliability – such as process and discrete
control systems – to open and close valves, run control loops, log data
on a centralized or local level, and perform real-time simulation and
analysis. The cFP-22xx controllers also offer up to 256 MB of SDRAM
and onboard memory, plus CompactFlash and USB slots on the cFP-2220
for external storage. With the 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet and serial ports,
you can communicate via TCP/IP, UDP, Modbus, and serial protocols, as
well as take advantage of the built-in Web (HTTP) and file (FTP) servers.
The Compact FieldPoint real-time controller connects to a 4- or 8-slot
solid backplane and controls a wide variety of hot-swappable I/O modules.
The modular I/O architecture with built-in signal conditioning and
isolation provides direct connectivity to industrial sensors such as analog
voltage, 4 to 20 mA current, thermocouples, RTDs, pressure, strain, flow,
pulse-width modulation (PWM), and 24 V digital I/O.
Software
NI LabVIEW is a graphical development environment that delivers
unparalleled flexibility and ease of use in demanding industrial
measurement, automation, and control applications. With LabVIEW, you
can quickly create user interfaces for interactive software system control
and easily construct simple or complex applications using an extensive
palette of functions and tools – from simple analog PID process control
loops to high-channel-count hybrid control systems. For extreme reliability
and determinism, cFP-22xx controllers run the LabVIEW Real-Time Module
on the Wind River VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS), providing
the functionality, connectivity, and flexibility of LabVIEW software on a
small industrial platform.
