3500/15 127610-01

3500/15 127610-01 requires no special fieldbus or programming knowledge, which makes fieldbus implementation fast and easy. The module offers greater flexibility and performance by using a 32-bit microcontroller with more memory (RAM and ROM). The fieldbus controller functionality is implemented in software, which reduces the module’s power consumption (self-contained) by about 25% compared to the FBK-2 solution. In addition, commModule PD enables automated assembly (SMD, Surface Mount Device), which significantly reduces manufacturing and handling costs. Complex development projects previously required can be replaced by simple and fast implementation. With the integration of the commModule PD, the bus physics is ready for the connection of Foundation Fieldbus H1 and PROFIBUS PA.

3500/15 127610-01 With these faster cycle rates, researchers can gain more precise control to build finer materials. They can also adapt to changes faster to produce more efficient machines. Researchers can quickly develop and prototype new control design algorithms for motion control using the NI SoftMotion development module. The software includes functions for trajectory generation, spline interpolation, position and velocity PID control, and encoder implementations on LabVIEW real-time modules and/or LabVIEW FPGA modules. Using these features, researchers can experiment with the various algorithms available to fine-tune their applications or even create their own. With the NI SoftMotion Development Module, engineers can create customized motion controllers based on performance requirements using the platform of their choice, including the CompactRIO embedded platform, plug-in NI M-Series and R-Series data acquisition devices, or NI Compact FieldPoint programmable automation controllers.
