CompactRIO Chassis

CompactRIO Chassis

CompactRIO Chassis are rugged modular hardware platforms designed by National Instruments for embedded control, real-time processing, and industrial measurement applications. They provide the hardware foundation for integrating FPGA processing, real-time controllers, and C Series Modules into advanced automation and monitoring systems.

PXISOURCE provides NI CompactRIO Chassis solutions for industrial control, machine monitoring, embedded systems, hardware-in-the-loop testing, energy applications, and advanced data acquisition environments.

What Is a CompactRIO Chassis?

A CompactRIO Chassis is the central hardware component of a CompactRIO system. It provides slots for installing C Series Modules and integrates FPGA technology for high-speed signal processing, deterministic control, and customized embedded applications.

Unlike traditional data acquisition platforms, CompactRIO Chassis combine FPGA-based processing with real-time control capabilities, allowing engineers to create reliable and flexible industrial automation systems.

A complete CompactRIO system typically includes a CompactRIO Chassis, CompactRIO Controller, and C Series Modules.
