LabVIEW Real-Time
Controller Interfaces with Ethernet
Overview and Applications
Compact FieldPoint is a programmable automation controller (PAC)
designed for industrial control applications performing advanced
embedded control, data logging, headless operation, and Ethernet
connectivity. It combines the packaging, specifications, and
reliability of a PLC with the software, flexibility, connectivity, and
functionality of a PC. Compact FieldPoint is our most rugged and
reliable platform and is designed for industrial and mobile
environments with high shock, vibration, and temperature extremes.
Compact FieldPoint banks run LabVIEW Real-Time, providing the
functionality, connectivity, and flexibility of LabVIEW on a small,
rugged, industrial platform. The modular I/O architecture with
built-in signal conditioning and isolation provides direct
connectivity to industrial sensors such as analog voltage, 4 to 20 mA
current, thermocouple, RTD, pressure, strain, flow, pulse width
modulation (PWM), and 24 V digital I/O.
controllers in intelligent distributed applications requiring
industrial-grade reliability, such as process and discrete control
systems, to open and close valves, run control loops, log data,
perform real-time simulation and analysis, and communicate over
serial, phone, and Ethernet.

System Configurations
A single NI cFP-20xx controller manages a bank of up to eight
Compact FieldPoint analog and digital I/O modules, which
constitutes a node. The network module securely mounts on a
metal backplane that provides a solid mounting surface for the
Compact FieldPoint bank and forms the communication bus
between the controller module and the I/O modules. You choose the
I/O modules and connector block or cabling option that is best
suited for your application.
For more details on configuring a Compact FieldPoint system,
see page 517.
Highly Productive Software
When your application requires powerful functionality and rapid
development, the key is flexible software that integrates seamlessly
with hardware. LabVIEW is an industry-standard graphical
development environment that provides all the tools necessary to
create advanced and full-featured measurement and control
applications. LabVIEW makes it easy to construct simple or
complex applications using an extensive palette of functions and
tools – from simple analog PID process control loops to high-
channel-count hybrid control systems that combine both analog
and digital components.
