Users can now can extend National Instruments’ CompactRIO reconfigurable embedded system platform by creating their own custom I/O modules for applications requiring specialized signal types. By using the Module Development Kit, system designers can access and configure the low-level architecture of their CompactRIO system. They then can use LabVIEW to program the reconfigurable FPGA chipset to communicate with their custom-module circuitry at rates exceeding 40Mbit/second. CompactRIO is a small, rugged, high-performance industrial control and acquisition platform which delivers a highly customizable embedded control and measurement system. The development kit delivers all the tools engineers need to build customized modules, and also includes a set of module housings with a variety of connector options. In conjunction with the release of the CompactRIO Module Development Kit, NI also introduced the charter group of precertified developer companies, an additional resource for customers wanting to outsource the development of custom modules. The five design houses include Advanced Measurements/USA, Göpel Electronic/ Germany, KGC/Japan, VI Engineering/USA, and Drivven, Inc./United States.
