Product Description

The NI PXIe-8840 is a high-performance embedded controller designed for the PXI Express platform. It serves as the central processing unit (CPU) for a PXI Express chassis, allowing you to create a powerful, compact, and rugged system for a wide range of test, measurement, and automation applications. The PXIe-8840 leverages an Intel Core i5 dual-core processor to provide the processing power needed for demanding, processor-intensive tasks.

Product Specifications

• Processor: Intel Core i5 4400E (2.7 GHz dual-core processor)
• Memory: 4 GB standard, 8 GB maximum (single-channel 1600 MHz DDR3L RAM)
• Storage: 250 GB Serial ATA hard drive (minimum)
• Operating System: Supports various operating systems, including Windows and LabVIEW Real-Time.
• I/O:
  • Two 10/100/1000BASE-T (Gigabit) Ethernet ports
  • Two USB 3.0 ports
  • Two USB 2.0 ports
  • Two DisplayPort video outputs
  • One GPIB port (via included adapter)
• Bus Interface: PXI Express (3U, one system slot)

Product Advantages

The NI PXIe-8840 provides a robust foundation for PXI Express systems with several key advantages:

• High Performance: The Intel Core i5 processor delivers the processing power needed to handle demanding measurement and control applications, including data analysis, signal processing, and real-time control loops.
• PXI Express Integration: It seamlessly integrates into the PXI Express chassis, acting as the system controller. This allows it to leverage the high-speed PXI Express backplane, which offers up to 2 GB/s of dedicated bandwidth to each peripheral slot.
• Built-in I/O: The controller comes with a rich set of I/O ports, including multiple USB and Ethernet ports, which makes it easy to connect to external devices, peripherals, and networks. The two DisplayPort outputs allow for a dual-monitor setup.
• Rugged and Reliable: Designed for the PXI platform, the PXIe-8840 is built to withstand harsh environments. Its embedded design, combined with robust construction, ensures reliable operation in industrial and laboratory settings.

Applications

The PXIe-8840 is ideal for any application that requires a powerful and compact controller for modular instrumentation. Common applications include:

• Automated Test and Measurement: Controlling and acquiring data from multiple PXI modules in a test system for electronics manufacturing, aerospace, and defense.
• Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulation: Providing the processing power for real-time control and simulation in automotive and aerospace applications.
• High-Channel-Count Data Acquisition: Managing large-scale data acquisition systems with many channels and high data rates.
• Industrial Automation: Acting as a controller in industrial systems that require powerful, deterministic control.

Important Considerations

For optimal performance and to ensure proper operation, keep these points in mind when using the PXIe-8840:

• Chassis Compatibility: The PXIe-8840 is a PXI Express controller and requires a PXI Express chassis or a hybrid PXI chassis with a PXI Express system slot. It is not compatible with standard PXI chassis.
• Software and Drivers: To program the controller and use the installed PXI modules, you will need to install the appropriate software, such as LabVIEW, TestStand, and NI-DAQmx, along with the drivers for your specific modules.
• Operating Temperature: Be aware of the specified operating temperature range for the controller and ensure that your chassis and cooling solution can maintain the temperature within that range, especially in demanding applications.
• Memory and Storage: While the standard configuration may be sufficient for many applications, consider upgrading the RAM and using a solid-state drive (SSD) for improved performance and reliability in applications with high data logging or intensive processing.
