It combines the packaging, specifications, and reliability of a PLC with the software, flexibility, connectivity, and functionality of a PC. Compact FieldPoint is a reliable platform designed for rugged industrial environments with shock, vibration, and temperature extremes. National Instruments cFP-21xx controllers run LabVIEW Real-Time, providing the functionality, connectivity, and flexibility of NI LabVIEW software on a small industrial platform. The modular I/O architecture with built-in signal conditioning and isolation provides direct connectivity to industrial sensors such as analog voltage, 4 to 20 mA current, thermocouples, RTDs, pressure, strain, flow, pulse-width modulation (PWM), and 24 V digital I/O. You can use NI cFP-21xx controllers in intelligent distributed applications requiring industrial-grade reliability – such as process and discrete control systems – to open and close valves, run control loops, log data on a centralized or local level, perform real-time simulation and analysis, and communicate over serial and Ethernet networks. System Basics A single cFP-21xx controller manages a bank of up to eight Compact FieldPoint I/O modules. The controller mounts securely on a metal backplane that provides the communication bus as well as a solid surface for the Compact FieldPoint I/O modules and controller. The system is modular; select the I/O modules and connector blocks or cabling options best suited for your application. Compact FieldPoint I/O banks have a number of features for industrial operation, including 2,300 V transient overvoltage protection, a wide temperature range for operation in extreme environments, backup power supply connections to protect against primary power failure, and hot-swappable modules to simplify maintenance and minimize downtime. cFP-21xx controllers feature an industrial 188 MHz x86 processor that reliably and deterministically executes your LabVIEW Real-Time applications. Choose from thousands of built-in LabVIEW functions to build your multithreaded embedded system for real-time control, analysis, data logging, and communication. cFP-21xx controllers also offer up to 128 MB of 100 MHz SDRAM and 128 MB of internal nonvolatile storage and a removable CompactFlash slot. All cFP-21xx controllers feature a 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port for communication over the network (including e-mail) and built-in Web (HTTP) and file servers (FTP). Using the LabVIEW Remote Panel feature, you can automatically publish the front panel graphical user interface (GUI) for your embedded application so that multiple clients can monitor or control it remotely using a Web browser. Compact FieldPoint LabVIEW Real-Time Controllers with Ethernet Software NI LabVIEW is a graphical development environment that delivers unparalleled flexibility and ease of use in demanding industrial measurement, automation, and control applications. With LabVIEW, you quickly create user interfaces for interactive software system control. LabVIEW makes it easy to construct simple or complex applications using an extensive palette of functions and tools – from simple analog PID process control loops to high-channel-count hybrid control systems. Each LabVIEW Real-Time hardware target, including Compact FieldPoint embedded controllers, has a dedicated processor running a real-time OS for reliability, stability, and determinism. Use the LabVIEW platform for your industrial measurement, automation, and control applications by following these three steps: • Choose your I/O – LabVIEW delivers access to the widest selection of I/O, from data acquisition, motion control, and vision integration to machine vision and custom-designed I/O from a single environment. • Choose your analysis or control methods – With more than 450 LabVIEW analysis and control functions, you define your system to meet your specific requirements. • Choose your real-time deployment platform – Once you create your LabVIEW application, deploy it to run deterministically on the hardware platform you choose. LabVIEW Shared Variable cFP-21xx controllers are compatible with the new LabVIEW shared variable that simplifies communication between distributed PAC systems. To create a shared variable within a LabVIEW Project, right-click on the location that will host the shared variable, either the Windows system or a cFP-21xx real-time controller. Then create a shared variable, or choose to bind the variable to an I/O source such as a FieldPoint I/O tag on a FieldPoint controller on the network. Figure 2 shows a LabVIEW Project with a cFP-2120 target that is hosting shared variables for the PID Setpoint, dt, and Process Variable. When this code is deployed to the cFP-2120 real-time controller, the shared variable configuration is deployed. The cFP-2120 real-time controller updates values for these shared variables independently from the Windows system. Note: cFP-21xx controllers are recommended if you want to host shared variables on the real-time controller. Hosting shared variables requires the shared variable engine to be installed to the embedded target. LabVIEW 8 Project and FieldPoint Programming Drag-and-Drop Programming With the new LabVIEW 8 Project, programming is simplified with drag-and-drop functionality. You can add local or distributed I/O from any Compact FieldPoint bank simply by dragging I/O from a LabVIEW Project to the VI where you want to read/write to that FieldPoint tag. Figure 1 shows I/O from a cFP-AI-102 module on a cFP-2120 bank being added to a new VI. LabVIEW automatically creates the FieldPoint tag and appropriate FieldPoint Read/Write VI when you drag an item from the LabVIEW Project Explorer. Figure 2. The cFP-2120 real-time controller hosts LabVIEW shared variables. Expansion I/O with NI cFP-1808 For systems that require more than eight Compact FieldPoint modules, the new National Instruments cFP-1808 network interface provides an easy way to add expansion I/O over Ethernet or serial. A single cFP-21xx controller can connect to as many additional NI cFP-1808 network interface systems as the Ethernet network allows. With LabVIEW 8, the I/O from an expansion system appears in the LabVIEW Project and is easy to program using the FieldPoint API by simply dragging a tag from the cFP-1808 bank to a VI. Figure 1. A LabVIEW Project provides easy access to Compact FieldPoint I/O.

The Ethernet port serves as a high-speed link for downloading application code, performing run-time debugging and probing, and transmitting control and indicator values with a GUI running on a networked PC. You also can use the Ethernet port for programmatic network communication using standard protocols such as TCP, UDP, FTP, HTTP, and DataSocket. Once deployed, the controller can communicate with any Ethernet-enabled device on the network. In addition, a cFP-21xx can communicate with a Windows computer running LabVIEW or any third-party HMI/SCADA software compatible with OPC. By using LabVIEW libraries and industrial gateways, you can add a Compact FieldPoint bank to any existing setup and communicate with industrial devices through standard communication protocols such as Modbus TCP and PROFIBUS. Ethernet Network cFP-1808 Distributed Network Interfaces Serial Connectivity Figure 3. Expansion I/O for cFP-21xx Controllers with NI cFP-1808 Network Interface Embedded Data Logging The cFP-2120 features 128 MB of nonvolatile removable CompactFlash storage for data logging or additional storage capacity. You can store the data in standard format, including CSV and XML. Once you store the data, you can easily transfer it to a PC using the embedded FTP server on the cFP-21xx. LabVIEW Real-Time expands the functionality beyond the typical data logger because you can make additional calculations and decisions to eliminate logging unneeded data and to perform onboard real-time calculations. Compact FieldPoint combines data logging, data reduction, control algorithms, a Web-based human machine interface (HMI), and the ability to communicate with other nodes on the network. cFP-21xx controllers have up to three RS232 serial ports and one RS485 port (cFP-2120) to communicate programmatically with other serial devices such as remote FieldPoint banks, LCD display/keypad units, bar code readers, or phone and radio modems. Power Supply Backup and Regulation cFP-21xx controllers require an 11 to 30 VDC power supply. An extra set of screw terminals is available on the network controllers for a backup UPS or battery. The controller filters and regulates the power input, redistributing power to all the I/O modules in the node through the backplane bus. Refer to Ordering Information for suitable power supplies.
