NI FP-2015

Important note: For new designs, National Instruments recommends CompactRIO hardware (see Resources tab).

Using the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module, you can develop powerful data-logging, control, and measurement systems on your PC and easily embed your application on the NI FP-2015 intelligent controller to achieve reliable distributed or stand-alone deployment. You can embed all the intelligence, advanced control, and analysis capabilities of LabVIEW in a small modular package suitable for industrial environments. The FP-2015 features expanded nonvolatile storage and DRAM memory for larger and more advanced applications. Engineers and scientists typically use the FP-20xx and cFP-2xxx controllers in applications requiring industrial-grade reliability - such as stand-alone data-logging, analog process, and discrete control systems - to run PID control loops; actuate valves and motors; take measurements; perform real-time analysis and simulation; log data; and communicate over serial, phone, and Ethernet. Once deployed, the controller can communicate peer to peer with other FP-20xx or cFP-2xxx intelligent controllers, or with unintelligent network interfaces such as FP-16xx and cFP-180x modules. In addition, the FP-2015 interface automatically publishes I/O measurements to a Windows computer running NI FieldPoint Explorer, LabVIEW, the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module, LabWindows™/CVI, Lookout, or your choice of OLE for process control (OPC) client application software. It also easily integrates with legacy or programmable logic controller (PLC) systems.
