National Instruments 777317-2100 Compact FieldPoint LabVIEW Real-Time Controller 

National Instruments part number 777317-2100 is an identifying part number for the cFP-2100 a Compact FieldPoint LabVIEW Real-Time Controller with 1 Ethernet Port and 1 RS232 serial port. The controller is equipped with 64 MB of non-volatile memory and 64 MB of DRAM, providing ample storage and processing power. It operates at a CPU clock frequency of 188 MHz, facilitating fast measurement and analysis tasks. The controller features an RS-232 serial port for expanded communication capabilities. 

The 777317-2100 operates on a power supply ranging from 11 to 30 VDC, with a power consumption of 6.1 W plus an additional 1.1 W for I/O module requirements. It features an Ethernet interface for seamless connection to an Ethernet network. This allows users to meet testing needs using a separate host PC, enabling tasks such as status monitoring, settings adjustments, and measurement result displays. The controller includes LED indicators on its front panel to indicate different operational states clearly. The instrument set also comes with FieldPoint software that can be used with NI Measurement and Automation Explorer.

A single controller from the 777317-2100range can control up to eight Compact FieldPoint I/O modules. The controller securely attaches to a metal backplane, which serves as both the communication bus and a stable mounting surface for the Compact FieldPoint I/O modules and controller. The system is modular, allowing users to select the I/O modules, connector blocks, or cabling options that best fit their application needs. The modular I/O architecture features built-in signal conditioning and isolation, allowing direct connectivity to industrial sensors including analog voltage, 4 to 20 mA current, thermocouples, RTDs, pressure, strain, flow, pulse-width modulation (PWM), and 24 V digital I/O.
