MVI56-MCM Third-Party Wireless Modules

The MVI56-MCM custom module adds a variety of features to the platform for automotive, aerospace, and military in-vehicle applications; wireless communications; and location monitoring for mobile applications; as well as direct connectivity to on-board sensors for electronic control unit (ECU) design and rapid prototyping.The CompactRIO is a high-performance control and acquisition system designed for applications that require high performance and reliability. CompactRIO is a high-performance control and acquisition system designed for applications requiring high performance and reliability.

The MVI56-MCM combines an open embedded architecture with small form factor, extremely rugged and hot-swappable I/O modules.CompactRIO is powered by LabVIEW FPGA technology, which allows engineers to reconfigure the platform for a wide range of design, acquisition and control applications. Engineers can also create their own custom modules for CompactRIO to meet specialized I/O and communication needs, which many companies find very useful.

Both the MVI56-MCM third-party module and the National Instruments module connect directly to CompactRIO’s FPGA, allowing synchronization between modules up to 40 MHz as well as custom timing and triggering for all I/OSEA, a provider of products and solutions in industrial automation and measurement technology, released the second generation of the CompactRIO GPS monitoring, GSM and GPRS wireless communication network modules. Engineers can use the SEA module to monitor the exact location of CompactRIO systems via the built-in GPS functionality, as well as wirelessly transmit data to and from CompactRIO systems and synchronize those systems at 100 ns resolution.
