Description
The PXIe-8821 falls under the category of PXI Embedded Controllers, designed to offer robust and high-performance control for various applications. This model stands out due to its compatibility with a wide range of development environments and peripheral communication protocols, ensuring flexibility and ease of integration into existing systems.
The core of the PXIe-8821 is powered by an Intel Core i3-4110E processor. This dual-core processor operates at 2.6 GHz, providing the necessary computational power to handle demanding applications. The choice of processor ensures that the controller can manage multiple tasks efficiently, making it suitable for applications requiring high-speed data processing.
Compatibility with LabVIEW is a significant advantage, as it supports various functionalities such as data acquisition (DAQ), dynamic signal acquisition, motion control, image acquisition, reconfigurable I/O, and instrumentation. This compatibility ensures that developers can easily create and deploy applications tailored to their specific needs without worrying about integration issues.
When it comes to peripheral communication, the PXIe-8821 supports a range of protocols including CAN, GPIB, Ethernet, and Serial Protocols. This versatility in communication options allows for the easy integration of the controller into different environments, facilitating communication with a wide array of devices and systems.
The controller is also compatible with NI-VISA, which simplifies the integration of third-party PXI/CompactPCI modules. This feature is particularly beneficial for users looking to customize their systems with specific modules that meet their unique application requirements.
Regarding storage options, the PXIe-8821 offers flexibility by supporting both rotating disk drives and SSDs. This choice allows users to select the best storage solution based on their environmental and usage conditions, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. The operating temperature range for models with rotating disks is from 5 °C to 50 °C, while the storage temperature range is from -40 °C to 65 °C. On the other hand, models equipped with SSDs can operate in temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 55 °C and have a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C
