National Instruments CompactRIO PROFIBUS C Series modules

Interfaces for PROFIBUS, FOUNDATION Fieldbus and DeviceNet that make it possible for engineers to connect LabVIEW, programmable automation controllers (PACs) and embedded systems to their existing industrial networks have been announced.

The interfaces provide industrial control engineers the ability to add high-speed measurements and analysis, advanced control, web connectivity and data logging to existing systems to improve the performance and quality of their machines.

The NI CompactRIO PROFIBUS C Series modules connect CompactRIO and NI Single-Board RIO to PROFIBUS DP networks as masters or slaves, which add high-performance measurements and custom control to systems that have standardised on PROFIBUS. In addition, NI has announced a one-port FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 interface for USB and a pair of DeviceNet master boards for PXI and PCI.

The NI USB-8486 FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 interface provides data logging, configuration and control in HMI and distributed control system applications. The interface connects FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices to standard desktop, industrial and notebook PCs, and is designed for portable data logging and in-the-field configuration and maintenance of devices and networks.

The NI PCI-8532 and NI PXI-8532 scanner (master) interfaces are specifically designed for applications that involve managing and controlling other DeviceNet devices on the network using LabVIEW graphical programming.
