CompactRIO
Modules for the NI CompactRIO platform
Extend your NI CompactRIO platform with wireless communications, GNSS positioning/timing, digital precision positioning, and more.
What is CompactRIO?
CompactRIO is a modular, compact, robust and open measurement system from NI, consisting of a real-time computer and a chassis for holding function modules, the so-called cRIO modules. Depending on the model, the chassis can accommodate 4 or 8 cRIO modules and has an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). Further information on CompactRIO can be found on the NI website.
In addition to CompactRIO, there is also the NI CompactDAQ platform. This platform can only be used to a limited extent and only with specific S.E.A. modules.
What does S.E.A. offer for CompactRIO?
We offer so-called Third-Party cRIO modules. These provide various technologies and thus help to extend the platform with a variety of capabilities.
In addition to the already existing modules, we can develop modules on customer request.
cRIO modules with technologies such as mobile radio (4G), geo-positioning (GNSS), interfaces and busses or networking.
