Overview

High-accuracy C Series analog input modules for National Instruments CompactRIO and NI CompactDAQ provide high-performance measurements for a wide variety of industrial, in-vehicle, and laboratory sensors and signal types. Each module includes built-in signal conditioning and an integrated connector with screw terminal or cable options for flexible and low-cost signal wiring. All modules feature NI CompactRIO Extreme Industrial Certifications and Ratings.

System Compatibility

You can use NI C Series modules in multiple system types depending on available software. Table 1 for CompactRIO and NI CompactDAQ module compatibility because not all modules work with both systems. Many of the advanced features described apply only to reconfigurable I/O systems and not to NI CompactDAQ.

Advanced Features

When used with CompactRIO, NI C Series analog input modules connect directly to reconfigurable I/O (RIO) FPGA hardware to create high-performance embedded systems. The reconfigurable FPGA hardware within CompactRIO provides a variety of options for custom timing, triggering, synchronization, filtering, signal processing, and high-speed decision making for all C Series analog modules. For instance, with CompactRIO, you can implement custom triggering for any analog sensor type on a per-channel basis using the flexibility and performance of the FPGA and the numerous arithmetic and comparison function blocks built into NI LabVIEW FPGA.

C Series Module Accessories

CompactRIO and NI CompactDAQ systems are designed to provide flexible options for low-cost field wiring and cabling. Most C Series modules have a unique connector block option that offers secure and safe connections to your C Series system. Table 2 contains all of the connector blocks available for C Series I/O modules.
