The NI -3110 XP is a dual-core industrial controller designed for demanding automation and control applications requiring real-time deterministic performance. Built on an Intel Celeron T3100 processor running at 1.9 GHz, this 2-slot 3U PXI module delivers single-point loop rates of 115 kHz with system jitter of 3 to 4 µs under LabVIEW Real-Time operation. The controller supports up to 4 GB of DDR2 SDRAM and configurable storage options including SSD or 80 GB SATA drives, accommodating extended temperature and continuous operation variants.
