National Instruments 783004-04 PXI-8840 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor PXI Controller
The National Instruments 783004-04 (PXI-8840) is a high-performance PXI/CompactPCI embedded controller powered by an Intel Core i5-4400E processor (operating at 2.7 GHz base frequency with dual-core architecture and high-efficiency processing). Designed to serve as the system controller in 3U PXI-compatible chassis for automated test, measurement, and industrial control environments, the module comes pre-installed with Windows 7 Professional. High-speed memory execution is driven by single-channel 1600 MHz DDR3L RAM (PC3-12800), configured with 4 GB standard and expandable up to 8 GB maximum. Primary storage features a 320 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive in standard configurations, with an extended-temperature 24/7 continuous operation option that replaces the mechanical drive with an 80 GB or larger solid-state drive (SSD), both operating via onboard SATA controllers supporting AHCI and IDE modes.
Front-panel peripheral connectivity includes two 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports, an integrated PCI-based IEEE 488 (GPIB) controller for legacy benchtop instrument control, four USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, and an RS-232 serial port (COM1). Dual DisplayPort 1.2 video outputs driven directly by integrated processor graphics support multiple high-resolution external monitors. Expansion capacity is augmented by an ExpressCard/34 slot for removable storage modules or specialized I/O interfaces, while an integrated hardware watchdog timer provides continuous monitoring and automated system reset in unattended test applications.
System timing and chassis synchronization are managed through the PXI trigger bus, with a dedicated front-panel SMB connector routing trigger input and output signals across installed measurement modules. Occupying a four-wide 3U PXI module footprint (requiring one system slot plus three controller expansion slots) and weighing 1.26 kg, the controller operates reliably across an environmental temperature range of 5 °C to 50 °C with non-condensing relative humidity tolerances of 10% to 90%. Combining server-grade processing, diverse connectivity, and flexible storage options into a single compact board assembly, the PXI-8840 maximizes available chassis bandwidth while keeping dedicated peripheral slots free for measurement instrumentation.
