The NI PXI-8110 RT controller with its 2.26 GHz quad-core processor, 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 standard memory, and highperformance 7200 rpm hard drive offers a high-performance platform ideal for demanding real-time test and control applications. You develop your LabVIEW application with the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module on Windows and download the program to your PXI-8110 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 realtime measurement and control systems capitalize on Intel processors coupled 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. Run Parallel Tasks on Separate Processor Cores The LabVIEW Real-Time Module takes advantage of the available four cores on the Intel Q9100 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 OS manage this assignment for you. To fully exercise the available four cores on the PXI-8110 RT, you must architect applications to create four independent execution threads by implementing programming strategies such as task parallelism, data parallelism, and pipelining. As an example of its high performance, the PXI-8110 RT can process up to 167,000 1K fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) per second, which is about 45 percent faster than the NI PXI-8108 dualcore embedded controller.

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 a PXI-8110 RT embedded controller with any number and combination of PXI/CompactPCI plug-in modules. Built-in LabVIEW libraries help you 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. Use NI-VISA to integrate third-party PXI/CompactPCI modules in your application. In addition, the PXI-8110 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 in and out of the PXI trigger bus in your system. 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Real-Time Embedded Controllers for PXI CPU 800 MHz DDR2 RAM, standard 800 MHz DDR2 RAM, maximum Hard drive (standard option), minimum Hard drive (extended temperature and 24/7 option), minimum Storage, solid state Extended temperature and 24/7 operation option 10/100/1000BASE-TX (Gigabit) Ethernet Serial port (RS232) Parallel port Hi-Speed USB ports GPIB (IEEE 488) controller ExpressCard/34 slot Watchdog/trigger SMB 1 Intel Core 2 Quad Q9100 processor (2.26 GHz quad core) 2 GB (1 x 2 GB) 2 GB (1 x 2 GB) 120 GB SATA (7200 rpm) 80 GB SATA (5400 rpm) Optional1 4 Optional 32 GB solid-state drive can replace the hard drive. Table 1. NI PXI-8110 RT Features Create Reliable Stand-Alone Systems To ensure reliable operation, embedded LabVIEW Real-Time applications continue to run even if the host PC is interrupted or rebooted. Because the PXI-8110 RT embedded controller runs in a separate chassis with a dedicated power supply, the operator 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 PXI-8110 RT controller. Dual-Boot Option You can configure NI PXI embedded controllers to boot into Windows or the 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. low- and high-temperature extremes and 24/7 operation. The standard version of the controllers has an operating temperature of 5 to 50 °C and a storage temperature of -40 to 65 °C. The extended temperature and 24/7 operation version has an operating temperature of 0 to 55 °C and a storage temperature of -40 to 71 °C. You can also use the extended temperature and 24/7 operation version for applications that require continuous operation for up to 24 hours/day, seven days/week because the hard drive is rated for 24/7 operation. The hard drive in the standard version of the controllers is designed to be powered on for eight hours/day, five days/week. Additionally, 24/7 operation applications may subject the hard drive to a high duty cycle (the percentage of the maximum sustained throughput of the hard drive). The hard drive in the standard version of the controllers is designed for a 20 percent duty cycle. The hard drives in the extended temperature and 24/7 operation version and the standard version have a capacity of 80 GB (minimum) with a SATA interface. Real-Time Performance Benchmarks Table 2 contains the PID loop rate benchmark numbers for the PXI-8110 RT. For a direct comparison, the benchmarks for the PXI-8110 RT embedded controller were artificially restricted to exercise only the first two CPU cores on the Intel Q9100 quad-core processor. You must architect real-time applications to create four independent execution threads by implementing programming strategies such as task parallelism, data parallelism, and pipelining to fully exercise the four cores on the PXI-8110 RT embedded controller.

Maximum loop rates for LabVIEW Real-Time PXI systems are shown. All benchmarks use the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 8.6.1 with NI-DAQmx 8.6. 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.

Extended Temperature and 24/7 Operation Option The PXI-8110 RT embedded controller is available in two versions to address different environmental and usage conditions. The primary difference is that the version for extended temperature and 24/7 operation uses a different hard drive designed for reliability in both BUY ONLINE at ni.com or CALL 800 813 3693 (U.S.) 2 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Real-Time Embedded Controllers for PXI Ordering Information To order a complete PXI system based on a LabVIEW Real-Time embedded controller, visit ni.com/pxiadvisor.
