Product Details:

NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS cFP-2010 is a Compact FieldPoint embedded real-time controller, running LabVIEW Real-Time operating system for autonomous distributed industrial measurement and control. It is equipped with 32 MB DRAM and 32 MB nonvolatile flash memory, integrated 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation Ethernet port and two independent RS-232 serial ports. It can be matched with various cFP series I/O modules including analog input, analog output, digital I/O and thermocouple modules, and can run control programs independently without relying on continuous connection with host PC. The power supply range is 11–30 VDC, supports panel mounting and rack mounting, and integrates hardware watchdog and built-in self-diagnosis function. It supports larger and more complex RT applications compared with cFP-2000. This legacy industrial controller is end-of-life, available stock are refurbished replacement spares for vintage industrial automation systems.

This real-time controller can execute standalone LabVIEW RT programs, realize on-site closed-loop control, data recording and alarm logic. Users can download embedded applications, configure network parameters and I/O mapping through NI MAX. It communicates with upper computer via TCP/IP, and can cooperate with multiple cFP I/O modules to build distributed monitoring and control nodes. Its rugged industrial hardware can adapt to factory workshop environment and support long-term unattended operation. It is a programmable RT controller, not a simple communication gateway like cFP-1804 and cFP-1808.

It adopts compact industrial metal housing, powered by external 11–30 VDC power supply. Front panel with RJ45 Ethernet port, dual RS-232 serial ports and status LED indicators for power, run, fault and network. Hot swap of I/O modules is supported, power off is recommended when replacing the whole controller unit. The structure meets industrial shock, vibration and EMC requirements for cabinet and panel installation.

It is widely deployed in factory process control stations, environmental monitoring systems, energy automation racks and legacy Compact FieldPoint distributed control systems needing standalone real-time operation with richer serial communication. Typical application scenarios include autonomous control node replacement, old FieldPoint RT controller maintenance and vintage industrial control platform retrofit. Automation integrators select this NI cFP-2010 for its LabVIEW RT runtime,32MB DRAM 32MB flash,10/100Mbps Ethernet,dual RS232 ports,standalone distributed control.
