NIWeek Preliminary Conference Program 2008 - (Page 14) INDUSTRIAL AND AUTOMATION TRACK Advanced Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA Topics and Panel Discussion with the Experts Meet the LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA experts to learn about advanced features and participate with them in a panel discussion on real-time and FPGA topics. Presented by National Instruments Connecting LabVIEW to PLCs Gain an overview of the popular industrial communication protocols based on the Ethernet physical layer including Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT. Also find out how to connect LabVIEW to devices on these protocols. Presented by National Instruments How to Make an Embedded Data Logger Using CompactRIO or Compact FieldPoint View a presentation on a reference architecture for implementing a data-logging solution, and discuss optimizations and performance improvement options. Presented by National Instruments Behind the Scenes with the New LabVIEW Real-Time Control Features Gain a behind-the-scenes look into the new control features in LabVIEW Real-Time. Walk through the details of I/O access, communication, and synchronization with a LabVIEW R&D developer. Presented by National Instruments Hands-On: Data Logging and Supervisory Control Get your hands on the latest data-logging and supervisory control software, and learn how to get started with and optimize your supervisory control application. Presented by National Instruments Hands-On: CompactRIO Part I – Programming with LabVIEW Real-Time Gain hands-on experience with the powerful new features of LabVIEW Real-Time that help you program CompactRIO easier. Presented by National Instruments Connect LabVIEW to a Servo Network in Four Easy Steps LabVIEW for Windows now has a driver to connect directly to Mechatrolink network motor drives. Learn how you can connect to these drives from LabVIEW in four easy steps: install the Mechatrolink driver and PCI card, connect the drive and motor, configure the drive, and develop your LabVIEW application. Presented by DMC Inc. Efficient Development and Debugging with the LabVIEW FPGA Module When your LabVIEW FPGA designs grow more complex to address increased feature requirements, certain approaches can improve development efficiency and overall quality. Review design architectures, simulation, emulation, code reuse, and optimization in LabVIEW FPGA. Also learn practical tips and techniques to enhance your next LabVIEW FPGA project. Presented by National Instruments Improving Assembly Line Quality Inspection with CompactRIO Quality inspection is necessary after assembling connector components. Although assembly failures are rare, it is advantageous if they are detected in real time. By monitoring the connector snap-fit load during assembly with a CompactRIO system, you can continuously update SPC data while suspect connectors are automatically segregated into reject bins. Presented by Corning Cable Systems Introduction to Green Engineering Learn about the green engineering and sustainable design practices that National Instruments is developing and deploying. Topics include conserving energy with advanced, high-speed control; identifying inefficiencies by adding measurements; increasing uptime by monitoring machine health; and reducing scrap by inspecting products early. Presented by National Instruments New LabVIEW Features for Adding HMIs to Your System Discover the new features and architecture updates in LabVIEW and the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module to help you develop and deploy HMIs for industrial and automated test applications. Learn about new hardware and software features. Presented by National Instruments Ethernet Networking 201: Implementing Ethernet Infrastructure and Adding 802.11 Wireless Access Points Explore the key technology components of Ethernet networks including managed and unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches and find out how to expand an Ethernet network using industrial 802.11 wireless access points (WAPs). Presented by National Instruments Integrating SCADA, Controls, and Monitoring in One Solution Based on CompactRIO Using the CompactRIO platform, one company has designed a combined control, monitoring, and data acquisition strategy for use in the natural gas gathering and pipeline services industry. As a platform, CompactRIO allows these elements to run on one system versus multiple systems typically found in the oil and gas industry. Presented by Enginuity NI Technology Strengthens Unique Vessel Positioning System Learn about the integration of LabVIEW Real-Time, LabVIEW FPGA, and LabWindows™/CVI deployed on PXI and CompactRIO controllers to synchronize laser and motion in an automated vessel positioning system for the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp., the first of its kind in the world.
