Hot Topic INDUSTRIAL AND AUTOMATION TRACK Tips and Tricks to Architect a High-Channel-Count SCADA System in LabVIEW Learn three ways – static shared variable node, data socket, and shared variable event structure support – to architect your high-channel-count supervisory control application, and discover the pros and cons of each. Also review tools including the multiple variable editor and custom I/O servers that help in architecting high-channel-count systems. Nick Folse, Product Support Engineer, and Arun Veeramani, Product Manager, National Instruments NI Technology Strengthens a Unique Vessel Positioning System Learn how the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp. integrated LabVIEW Real-Time, LabVIEW FPGA, and LabWindows /CVI and deployed them on PXI and CompactRIO controllers to synchronize laser and motion in an automated vessel positioning system, the first of its kind in the world. ™ Steve Allard, Technical Leader, Averna Luc Boisclair, Manager of Operating Technology, The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp. Tuesday, August 5 2:15 – 3:15 p.m. Room 16A Tuesday, August 5 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. Room 16A Using CompactRIO in Harsh and Hazardous Environments Real-time data acquisition systems must function and perform safely in hazardous or explosive environments. Learn about how engineers use CompactRIO in enclosures operating in these environments. View a design of the enclosure and connections as well as considerations for integrating equipment not rated for use in these areas. Rick Garza, Engineering Team Lead, G Systems, LP Selecting the Right FPGA Hardware for Your Application A variety of NI products include user-programmable FPGAs. These products, such as CompactRIO and intelligent DAQ devices, contain different FPGAs with varying resources and performance. Explore the technical differences between the FPGAs used within these products, and gain background knowledge on FPGA performance and resources. Joe Peck, Principal Architect, National Instruments Tuesday, August 5 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. Room 16A Tuesday, August 5 2:15 – 3:15 p.m. Room 14 Simulation and Real-Time Control Using LabVIEW Design and Simulation Explore new developments in predictive and nonlinear control with implementation using LabVIEW design tools. Gain experience in applying these techniques in different application areas, and learn the benefits of using an integrated design simulation facility. Michael J. Grimble, Professor, University of Strathclyde What’s New in Compact FieldPoint Learn about the latest product releases for Compact FieldPoint, the rugged, intelligent programmable automation controller (PAC) for easy-to-use data logging, measurement, and control. Hear about the product line roadmap, see demonstrations using the dual Ethernet architecture, and discover the plans NI has for product lifetime longevity. Irene Bearly, Product Manager, National Instruments Tuesday, August 5 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. Room 14 Wednesday, August 6 2:15 – 3:15 p.m. Room 16A The mark LabWindows is used under a license from Microsoft Corporation.
