PXIe-8822

The PXIe-8822 is a PXI Embedded Controller from National Instruments, designed for PXI Express automated test, industrial control, data acquisition, and modular measurement systems. As an embedded controller for PXI systems, the NI PXIe-8822 provides a compact PC-based control platform inside a PXI Express chassis. It features an Intel Core i3-11100HE quad-core processor, 8 MB Smart Cache, 8 GB standard DDR4 memory, and a 512 GB or greater NVMe SSD, making it suitable for general-purpose PXI test and measurement applications.

The NI PXIe-8822 is used as the main system controller in a PXI Express chassis. Instead of controlling the chassis with an external desktop computer, engineers can install the PXIe-8822 directly into the chassis to create a more integrated, compact, and portable test system. This design helps reduce external cabling, simplify system setup, and improve reliability in automated test environments. It is suitable for production test stations, laboratory measurement systems, industrial control platforms, and modular data acquisition systems.

For connectivity, the PXIe-8822 PXI Controller includes a 10/100/1000/2500BASE-T Ethernet port, two Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 / USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, an RS-232 serial port, a DisplayPort 1.4 video output, and a PXI trigger SMB connector. These interfaces allow users to connect external displays, network systems, USB peripherals, serial devices, and synchronized PXI instruments. The Ethernet port supports 2.5G connectivity, which is useful for network communication, remote access, and test system integration.

The National Instruments PXIe-8822 supports PXI Express system control and can communicate with PXI and PXIe modules installed in the chassis. It is suitable for controlling oscilloscopes, digitizers, signal generators, switch modules, source measure units, digital I/O modules, and data acquisition modules. With PXI trigger routing through the SMB trigger connector, the PXIe-8822 can also help users build synchronized multi-instrument test systems.

The PXIe-8822 supports operating system options such as Windows 10 IoT, Windows 11 IoT, or NI Linux Real-Time. Windows-based configurations are suitable for general automated test, measurement software, and instrument control applications, while NI Linux Real-Time is useful for systems that require deterministic behavior, long-term stability, and real-time control. This flexibility allows engineers and system integrators to choose the software environment that best fits their PXI test platform.

The PXIe-8822 Embedded Controller is a practical choice for users who need a cost-effective controller for PXI Express systems. Compared with higher-performance controllers such as PXIe-8842 or PXIe-8862, the PXIe-8822 is more suitable for general control, data acquisition, and moderate automated test workloads. It is ideal for applications such as electronic functional test, production line monitoring, laboratory automation, industrial control, research measurement, and educational test systems.

Overall, the NI PXIe-8822 PXI Embedded Controller provides a reliable control solution for PXI Express test systems. With its Intel Core i3 quad-core processor, 8 GB DDR4 memory, NVMe SSD storage, 2.5G Ethernet, USB connectivity, serial port, DisplayPort output, and PXI trigger support, the PXIe-8822 is well suited for compact automated test, industrial control, modular instrumentation, and data acquisition applications.
