Overview
National Instruments RT Series PXI embedded controllers deliver a
flexible, rugged platform for your deterministic, real-time measurement
and control applications. The high-performance NI PXIe-8130 RT is the first
National Instruments embedded controller based on PXI Express. You can
develop your LabVIEW application with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module
on Windows and download the program to your NI PXIe-8130 RT controller
via Ethernet. The embedded code executes on a real-time OS. Thus, you
use the powerful and flexible development tools of LabVIEW to build
reliable, real-time solutions.
LabVIEW Real-Time applications running on PXI systems achieve
microsecond loop rates with only 3 to 4 ns of system jitter. These real-time
measurement and control systems capitalize on the latest processors
combined with the advanced timing, triggering, and I/O synchronization
benefits of PXI. Furthermore, NI measurement services software extends
the timing capabilities of PXI to deliver tight integration with LabVIEW
Real-Time applications through operations such as hardware-timed
software loops.
Connect to Any I/O
The modularity of PXI and open development environment of LabVIEW
make it easy to integrate a variety of I/O within your application. Create
a custom real-time embedded solution using an NI PXIe-8130 RT with
any number and combination of PXI/CompactPCI plug-in modules.
With built-in LabVIEW libraries, you can create applications with data
acquisition, dynamic signal acquisition, motion control, image acquisition,
reconfigurable I/O, and instrumentation. Communicate with peripheral
devices through CAN, GPIB, Ethernet, or serial protocols. And use
NI-VISA to integrate third-party PXI/CompactPCI modules into
your application.
In addition, the NI PXIe-8130 RT controller includes an external SMB
connection for use as a trigger input, output, or watchdog timer. Use the
external SMB to pass trigger and timing signals into and out of the PXI
trigger bus in your system.
Run Parallel Tasks on Separate Processor Cores
The LabVIEW Real-Time Module takes advantage of the available dual
cores on the AMD processor to increase performance and determinism
for large real-time test and control applications. You can either explicitly
assign certain tasks to run on specific cores of the processor or let the
real-time operating system manage this assignment for you.

Table 2. Maximum loop rates for LabVIEW Real-Time PXI/PXI Express systems are
shown. (All benchmarks use LabVIEW 8.5 Real-Time Module with NI-DAQmx 8.5.
Processors for both the controllers were used in the dual-core mode. Benchmarks were
revised to adhere to the architecture recommended by NI for symmetric multiprocessingenabled systems. Benchmarks that do not test network performance run on a headless
target without a direct Ethernet connection for maximum performance. Benchmarks
that do test network performance use interrupt-mode Ethernet via a direct connection
between the host PC and real-time target with a crossover cable.) Visit ni.com or
contact National Instruments for additional benchmarks.
Extended Temperature and 24/7 Operation
An NI 8130 embedded controller comes standard with the extended
temperature and 24/7 operation mode. It uses a rugged hard drive
designed for both reliability in low- and high-temperature extremes
and continuous operation. An NI 8130 has an operating temperature
of 0 to 55 °C and a storage temperature of -40 to 71 °C.
You can also use the NI PXIe-8130 RT for applications that require
continuous operation for up to 24 hours/day, seven days/week because the
hard drive is rated for such operation. Standard hard drives are designed
to be powered on for eight hours/day, five days/week. The hard drive used
in the NI PXIe-8130 RT controller is rated for continuous operation and
exposure to high duty cycles (the percentage of the maximum sustained
throughput of the hard drive). This makes the controller suitable for a large
variety of applications and deployment conditions.
Create Reliable Stand-Alone Systems
To ensure reliable operation, embedded LabVIEW applications continue
to run even if the host PC is interrupted or rebooted. Because the
NI PXIe-8130 RT embedded controller runs in a separate chassis with
a dedicated power supply, you can shut down the host computer
entirely without disrupting the real-time program.
For stand-alone operation, you can embed code in the system so
that it starts automatically when the system boots, requiring no human
interaction. Use the LabVIEW Professional Development System and
LabVIEW Real-Time Module to compile your LabVIEW application into
an executable and download it to your NI PXIe-8130 RT controller.
Dual-Boot Option
You can configure NI PXI embedded controllers to boot into Windows
or the LabVIEW Real-Time OS. NI Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX) includes features for installing and configuring PXI embedded
controllers as LabVIEW Real-Time targets. The controllers use a
hardware switch or BIOS setting to boot into the desired OS.
The result is a PXI embedded controller that can run embedded
LabVIEW Real-Time or Windows applications. When the controller is in
real-time mode, you need another Windows computer to develop and
debug the LabVIEW Real-Time code for the PXI controller. To enable a
Windows PXI embedded controller to dual-boot with the real-time OS,
you must purchase the LabVIEW Real-Time embedded deployment
software for the controller.
