Product Details:

NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS cFP-2100 is a high-performance Compact FieldPoint embedded real-time controller with 200 MHz Pentium-class Vega processor, running LabVIEW Real-Time operating system for autonomous distributed industrial measurement and control. It is equipped with 128 MB SDRAM and 64 MB flash memory, integrated 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation Ethernet port and one RS-232 serial port. It supports all cFP series I/O modules including analog input, analog output, digital I/O and thermocouple modules. The operating temperature range is -40℃ to 70℃, wider than cFP-2000/2010/2020 series. It integrates hardware watchdog and built-in self-diagnosis function, supports web server and FTP server for remote access and file management. The power supply range is 11–30 VDC, supports panel mounting and rack mounting. This legacy industrial controller is end-of-life, available stock are refurbished replacement spares for vintage industrial automation systems.

This real-time controller can run standalone LabVIEW RT programs, suitable for complex control algorithms, high-speed data logging and unattended field monitoring. 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 control nodes. It adopts SDRAM architecture to improve data throughput, the processing performance is about three times higher than the earlier cFP-20xx series controllers. It is a programmable RT PAC 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, single RS-232 serial port 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 requiring high processing power and wide temperature range. Typical application scenarios include high-performance autonomous control node replacement, old FieldPoint RT controller maintenance and vintage industrial control platform retrofit. Automation integrators select this NI cFP-2100 for its 200MHz Vega CPU,128MB SDRAM 64MB flash,10/100Mbps Ethernet,single RS232 port,-40~70℃ wide temperature.
