Just as in lab and test environments, industrial applications require PCs and reliable, robust, and easy-to-use hardware and software tools. These tools must communicate with devices such as process instrumentation, PLCs, single-loop controllers, and I/O and data acquisition devices. National Instruments offers hardware and driver software products for communication with industrial devices using Ethernet, Controller Area Network (CAN), DeviceNet, and FOUNDATION Fieldbus.
