Industrial Controller replacement?

[paubin]

Hi,

I'm using an IC3173RT in several realtime application using GigE cameras, FPGA I/O,  EtherCAT drives and NI 9145 EtherCAT Chassis...

I was doing a new quote and to my surprise, NI will stop the production of the Industrial Controllers by 2022-12-31.

What are my options now? I basically need 4 Ethernet GigE port, Realtime OS, EtherCAT ...  Is a PXI the only way to go? (NI will stop supporting Pharlaps RT desktop and is not offering NI Linux RT Desktop..)

Thanks for your help.

Talk to the folks at https://www.vecow.com/ They make a wide range of embedded systems and have products geared toward the Vision Industry.

The problem is more how can I use those embedded computers using a realtime OS and labview. Like I did with the IC3173 or any Pharlap realtime desktop...
