The NI 3110 XP Dual-Core Industrial Controller is a fanless industrial PC built for automation and control in harsh environments. Its 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo processor executes real-time and Windows XP–based applications with 1 GB DDR2 RAM and 80 GB SATA storage. A single half-length PCI or PCI Express expansion slot accepts compatible boards dissipating under 10 W, enabling integration with NI’s CompactDAQ, PXI, USB DAQ, CompactRIO, and other platforms. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, four USB 2.0 ports, MXI Express connectivity, and RS232 serial I/O provide flexible field communication. The fanless thermal design eliminates acoustic noise and reduces contamination risk in demanding industrial settings.
