National Instruments (NI) has introduced a new PXI Express embedded controller, the PXIe-8840. With its superior processing power, rich interfaces and highly modular design, this controller meets the needs of high performance controllers in industrial automation and test and measurement.

The PXIe-8840 controller is powered by a 2.7GHz dual-core or 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 5700EQ processor, providing powerful computing performance. It supports 8 GB or 2 GB memory configurations, as well as 320 GB or 250 GB integrated hard drives to meet the needs of different scale data processing.

The controller has a wealth of interface resources, including two 10/100/1000BASE-TX gigabit Ethernet ports, two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, and one serial port for high-speed data transfer and connection with other devices.

The PXIe-8840 is designed with a focus on modularity and flexibility for processor-intensive, modular instrumentation and data acquisition applications. Its launch further enricues NI’s product line in the field of PXI systems, providing more options and possibilities for engineers and researchers.

In addition, PXIe-8840 also supports a variety of operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows 10, etc., users can choose the right operating system according to their application needs. NI also provides downloads of the PXIe-8840 quad-core firmware and additional drivers to help users better set up and control the device.

The launch of PXIe-8840 not only improves the efficiency and performance of industrial automation and test and measurement systems, but also contributes to the development of Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing. With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous expansion of applications, PXIe-8840 is expected to play a more important role in the field of industrial automation in the future.
