Challenge: Preventing light-rail car failure caused by unidentifed electrical high-voltage transients.
Solution: Combining the benefits of the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and processor in NI CompactRIO hardware to create a rugged, semipermanent monitoring system that records multiple data formats and rates, synchronizes the data, and performs real-time analysis to remotely monitor sensors in an industrial environment for extended durations.
