COMPACTRIO SCAN MODE TUTORIAL

This section will teach a person how to create a basic control application on CompactRIO using scan mode. One should see the LabVIEW FPGA Tutorial if the choice is to use the LabVIEW FPGA Interface. One should then have a new LabVIEW Project that consists of the existing CompactRIO system, including the controller, C Series I/O modules, and chassis. An NI 9211 Thermocouple input module will be used in this

I²C (INTER-INTEGRATED CIRCUIT)

I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), pronounced I-squared-C or I-two-C, is a multi-master, multi-slave, packet-switched, single-ended, serial computer bus invented by Philips Semiconductor (now NXP Semiconductors). It is typically used for attaching lower-speed peripheral ICs to processors and microcontrollers in short-distance, intra-board communication. Alternatively, I²C is spelled I2C (pronounced I-two-C) or IIC (pronounced I-I-C). Since October 10, 2006, no licensing fees are required to implement the I²C protocol. However, fees are still required

EMBEDDED CONTROLLER FOR DATA ACQUISITION

Embedded control is a subgroup of the overall data acquisition and control market. The I/O system is not connected to an external PC. The processor runs the system or the PC, which is incorporated into the I/O chassis itself, is the differentiating feature of an embedded system. One hosted DAQ system is usually introduced by some type of general purpose PC with a keyboard, monitor or some other human interface

WHAT IS RS422?

RS-422, also known as TIA/EIA-422, is a technical standard originated by the Electronic Industries Alliance that specifies electrical characteristics of a digital signaling circuit. Differential signaling can transmit data at rates as high as 10 Mbit/s, or may be sent on cables as long as 1500 meters. Some systems directly interconnect using RS-422 signals, or RS-422 converters may be used to extend the range of RS-232 connections. The standard only

APPLICATIONS OF RS-485

RS-485 signals are used in a wide range of computer and automation systems. In a computer system, SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 may use this specification to implement the physical layer for data transmission between a controller and a disk drive. RS-485 is used for low-speed data communications in commercial aircraft cabins’ vehicle bus. It requires minimal wiring and can share the wiring among several seats, reducing weight. RS-485 is used as
