The National Instruments IC-3171 Industrial Controller (Part Numbers: 784963-01 and 784964-01) is a high-performance microprocessor-based unit designed to provide robust and flexible automation solutions. Powered by a 1.91 GHz Intel Celeron 3765U, the IC-3171 supports two 64-bit operating systems, including Windows Embedded Standard 7 and National Instruments Linux Real-Time. It is equipped with 4 GB of DDR3L system RAM, capable of read/write operations at 1600 MT/s, ensuring efficient data processing and control management.

At its core, the IC-3171 features a Xilinx Kintex-7 160T reconfigurable FPGA, which includes 202,800 flip-flops, 101,400 six-input lookup tables (LUTs), and 600 DSP48E1 slices, alongside 32 direct memory access (DMA) channels and 32 logical interrupts. The controller enhances connectivity options with four Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable network ports, compliant with IEEE 802.3af standards, each providing 15.4 Watts of power. Additional connectivity is facilitated through two USB 3.0 ports (5 GB/s) and four USB 2.0 ports (480 Mbit/s), allowing for seamless communication with a variety of external devices.

For user interface flexibility, the IC-3171 can accommodate two external display devices via its dual display ports, supporting a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz. Digital I/O connectivity is conveniently managed through a front panel-mounted 44-pin Digital I/O connector, which provides access to all isolated digital inputs and outputs. With compact dimensions of 6.9 in. × 3.7 in. × 6.6 in. and a weight of 6 lbs 11 oz, the IC-3171 is designed for easy integration into industrial environments, backed by a warranty of 2-3 years.
