Overview
System Basics
National Instruments Compact FieldPoint is a programmable automation
controller (PAC) designed for industrial control applications performing
advanced embedded control, data logging, and network connectivity.
It combines the packaging, specifications, and reliability of a PLC
with the software, flexibility, connectivity, and functionality of a PC.
Compact FieldPoint is a reliable platform designed for rugged industrial
environments with shock, vibration, and temperature extremes.
National Instruments cFP-21xx controllers run LabVIEW Real-Time,
providing the functionality, connectivity, and flexibility of NI LabVIEW
software on a small industrial platform. 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. You can use NI cFP-21xx controllers in
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, perform
real-time simulation and analysis, and communicate over serial and
Ethernet networks.
A single cFP-21xx controller manages a bank of up to eight
Compact FieldPoint I/O modules. The controller mounts securely on
a metal backplane that provides the communication bus as well as a
solid surface for the Compact FieldPoint I/O modules and controller.
The system is modular; select the I/O modules and connector blocks
or cabling options best suited for your application. Compact FieldPoint
I/O banks have a number of features for industrial operation, including
2,300 V transient overvoltage protection, a wide temperature range for
operation in extreme environments, backup power supply connections
to protect against primary power failure, and hot-swappable modules
to simplify maintenance and minimize downtime. cFP-21xx controllers
feature an industrial 188 MHz x86 processor that reliably and
deterministically executes your LabVIEW Real-Time applications.
Choose from thousands of built-in LabVIEW functions to build your
multithreaded embedded system for real-time control, analysis, data
logging, and communication. cFP-21xx controllers also offer up to
128 MB of 100 MHz SDRAM and 128 MB of internal nonvolatile storage
and a removable CompactFlash slot. All cFP-21xx controllers feature a
10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port for communication over the network (including
e-mail) and built-in Web (HTTP) and file servers (FTP). Using the LabVIEW
Remote Panel feature, you can automatically publish the front panel
graphical user interface (GUI) for your embedded application so that
multiple clients can monitor or control it remotely using a Web browser.

Software
LabVIEW Shared Variable
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 quickly create user interfaces for interactive software system
control. LabVIEW makes it easy to 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. Each LabVIEW Real-Time hardware target, including
Compact FieldPoint embedded controllers, has a dedicated processor
running a real-time OS for reliability, stability, and determinism. Use
the LabVIEW platform for your industrial measurement, automation,
and control applications by following these three steps:
• Choose your I/O – LabVIEW delivers access to the widest selection
of I/O, from data acquisition, motion control, and vision integration
to machine vision and custom-designed I/O from a single environment.
• Choose your analysis or control methods – With more than 450
LabVIEW analysis and control functions, you define your system
to meet your specific requirements.
• Choose your real-time deployment platform – Once you create
your LabVIEW application, deploy it to run deterministically on
the hardware platform you choose.
cFP-21xx controllers are compatible with the new LabVIEW shared
variable that simplifies communication between distributed PAC systems.
To create a shared variable within a LabVIEW Project, right-click on the
location that will host the shared variable, either the Windows system
or a cFP-21xx real-time controller. Then create a shared variable, or choose
to bind the variable to an I/O source such as a FieldPoint I/O tag on a
FieldPoint controller on the network. Figure 2 shows a LabVIEW Project
with a cFP-2120 target that is hosting shared variables for the PID
Setpoint, dt, and Process Variable. When this code is deployed to the
cFP-2120 real-time controller, the shared variable configuration is
deployed. The cFP-2120 real-time controller updates values for these
shared variables independently from the Windows system.
Note: cFP-21xx controllers are recommended if you want to host shared
variables on the real-time controller. Hosting shared variables requires
the shared variable engine to be installed to the embedded target.
LabVIEW 8 Project
and FieldPoint Programming
Drag-and-Drop Programming
With the new LabVIEW 8 Project, programming is simplified with
drag-and-drop functionality. You can add local or distributed I/O from any
Compact FieldPoint bank simply by dragging I/O from a LabVIEW Project to
the VI where you want to read/write to that FieldPoint tag. Figure 1 shows
I/O from a cFP-AI-102 module on a cFP-2120 bank being added to a new VI.
LabVIEW automatically creates the FieldPoint tag and appropriate FieldPoint
Read/Write VI when you drag an item from the LabVIEW Project Explorer.
Figure 2. The cFP-2120 real-time controller hosts LabVIEW shared variables.
Expansion I/O with NI cFP-1808
For systems that require more than eight Compact FieldPoint modules, the
new National Instruments cFP-1808 network interface provides an easy
way to add expansion I/O over Ethernet or serial. A single cFP-21xx
controller can connect to as many additional NI cFP-1808 network
interface systems as the Ethernet network allows. With LabVIEW 8,
the I/O from an expansion system appears in the LabVIEW Project and
is easy to program using the FieldPoint API by simply dragging a tag from
the cFP-1808 bank to a VI.
Figure 1. A LabVIEW Project provides easy access to Compact FieldPoint I/O.

Network Interfaces
A cFP-21xx controller connects directly to your network through the
built-in Ethernet port. The Ethernet port serves as a high-speed link for
downloading application code, performing run-time debugging and
probing, and transmitting control and indicator values with a GUI running
on a networked PC. You also can use the Ethernet port for programmatic
network communication using standard protocols such as TCP, UDP, FTP,
HTTP, and DataSocket. Once deployed, the controller can communicate with
any Ethernet-enabled device on the network. In addition, a cFP-21xx
can communicate with a Windows computer running LabVIEW or any
third-party HMI/SCADA software compatible with OPC. By using LabVIEW
libraries and industrial gateways, you can add a Compact FieldPoint bank
to any existing setup and communicate with industrial devices through
standard communication protocols such as Modbus TCP and PROFIBUS.

Embedded Data Logging
The cFP-2120 features 128 MB of nonvolatile removable CompactFlash
storage for data logging or additional storage capacity. You can store the
data in standard format, including CSV and XML. Once you store the data,
you can easily transfer it to a PC using the embedded FTP server on the
cFP-21xx. LabVIEW Real-Time expands the functionality beyond the
typical data logger because you can make additional calculations and
decisions to eliminate logging unneeded data and to perform onboard
real-time calculations. Compact FieldPoint combines data logging, data
reduction, control algorithms, a Web-based human machine interface
(HMI), and the ability to communicate with other nodes on the network.
cFP-21xx controllers have up to three RS232 serial ports and one RS485
port (cFP-2120) to communicate programmatically with other serial
devices such as remote FieldPoint banks, LCD display/keypad units, bar
code readers, or phone and radio modems.
Power Supply Backup and Regulation
cFP-21xx controllers require an 11 to 30 VDC power supply. An extra set of
screw terminals is available on the network controllers for a backup UPS
or battery. The controller filters and regulates the power input,
redistributing power to all the I/O modules in the node through the
backplane bus. Refer to Ordering Information for suitable power supplies.
