The RTFPTM DAQ (Real Time, FPGA and PID Data Acquisition Test System) can be tailored around your needs; One of the latest configurations delivered, monitors up to 320 temperature sensors of various types, provide real-time control of up to 96 heaters based on any of those temperature readings, display and store (into SQL database) all acquired temperature sensor, heater, and control loop status information, and perform self-test and validation functions.
The Tester is built around NI hardware and software. The system is comprised of a Real-Time PXI terminal for data acquisition and control, and a host PC for data storage, display, and user interface. The system takes advantage of an R Series Intelligent DAQ module along with LabVIEW FPGA to provide individual PWM control of heater power. LabVIEW Real-Time is used along with the PID Toolkit to implement the heater control algorithm.
Several PXI multiplexer modules route the sensor inputs to a PXI DMM module in order to provide high-speed acquisition of all the various sensor types. M Series Multifunction DAQ modules were used to provide additional measurement and control functions. By utilizing National Instruments hardware along with LabVIEW, WinSoft was able to deliver a high-channel-count system that fits in a compact space.
