National Instruments PXI-8110 PXI Controller

The National Instruments PXI-8110 (Part Numbers: 780691-04, 780690-00, 780690-01, 780690-02, 780690-04, 780690-33, 780691-00, 780691-01, 780691-02, 780691-33) is an advanced embedded controller made especially for PXI and CompactPCI systems. It is intended for use in high-performance modular instrumentation and data acquisition applications. It has an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9100, which operates at 2.26 GHz with a 1066 MHz front-side bus, providing a large amount of computing power for demanding activities.

With four computing cores, the PXI-8110 delivers improved performance over dual-core controllers with similar clock speeds, making it ideal for applications involving intensive computations such as test, measurement, and control. Featuring four Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports and a 10/100/1000BASE-TX (Gigabit) Ethernet interface, the controller integrates essential I/O functions into a compact package. It also includes a DVI-I video output, a serial port, and an optional parallel port, ensuring compatibility with a variety of accessories and devices.

The PXI-8110 provides versatility for connecting to different instruments and extending functionality as needed due to its PCI-based GPIB controller and ExpressCard/34 expansion port. For ample storage capacity, which is necessary for storing data gathered during testing and measurement operations, it comes with a 120 GB SATA hard drive, with an 80 GB extended-temperature option available.

Software tools from National Instruments, including Measurement Studio, LabVIEW, and LabWindows/CVI, further enhance the controller’s functionality. These powerful ADEs (Application Development Environments) enable smooth NI hardware integration and control, allowing for efficient data collection and analysis when paired with hardware drivers such as NI-DAQmx.

The PXI-8110 comes standard with 2 GB of single-channel DDR2 PC2-6400 (800 MHz) RAM, which is expandable to 4 GB for improved multitasking performance. The product is compatible with Windows Vista Business by default but can be downgraded to Windows XP Professional for Embedded Systems, ensuring interoperability with a variety of software applications commonly used in industrial automation and control systems.

The PXI-8110 is a PXI 3U-sized module with the following dimensions: 8.1 cm × 13 cm × 21.6 cm (3.2 in. × 5.1 in. × 8.5 in.) and weighs 0.914 kg (2.02 lb).
