The National Instruments CompactRIO programmable automation controller (PAC) is a low-cost, reconfigurable control and acquisition system designed for applications that require high performance and reliability. The system combines an open embedded architecture with small size, extreme ruggedness, and hot-swappable industrial I/O and communication modules. CompactRIO is powered by reconfigurable I/O (RIO) FPGA technology.

Controller area network (CAN) communication is supported on the CompactRIO platform with two-port, high-speed NI 9853 CAN modules. NI CompactRIO modules connect directly to RIO FPGA devices to create high-performance embedded systems that deliver the optimization and flexibility of a custom electrical circuit completely dedicated to your input/output application. RIO FPGA hardware provides unlimited options for timing, triggering, synchronization, and sensor-level signal processing and decision making.
