The NI Single-Board RIO device from National Instruments provides an integrated hardware option for deploying embedded control and data acquisition applications while remaining low in cost. The device merges an embedded real-time processor, reconfigurable field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and analogue, as well as a digital I/O, on a single printed circuit board. The combination allows for applications requiring flexibility, high performance and reliability in a small form-factor.
The NI Single-Board RIO device includes an industrial 266MHz or 400MHz Freescale MPC5200 processor built on Power Architecture technology, Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA and expandable I/O capabilities via three expansion slots that connect any future NI C-Series I/O module or custom modules. With an operating temperature of -20ºC–55ºC, it can be used in extreme temperatures, and it has integrated 19-30V DC power supply input and a real-time clock and battery backup.
