NI CompactRIO Chassis

The CompactRIO chassis is the center of the integrated system architecture. It is directly connected to the I/O for high-performance access to the I/O circuitry of each module and timing, triggering, and synchronization. Because each module is connected directly to the FPGA rather than through a bus, you experience almost no control latency for system response compared to other controller architectures.

CompactRIO Chassis can add C Series I/O modules to an EtherCAT-, Ethernet- or MXI-Express-compatible system. You can program the onboard FPGA for inline processing, high-speed I/O, and control. You can also use scan mode to quickly expand your real-time system.
