This thesis report describes an exploratory work for a network communication modules to be used together with the CompactRIO system, a system used to control or monitor industrial machinery. This thesis was carried out by integrating the existing ABCC module series, which is a communication solution that can be used to control or observe industrial machinery, into a CompactRIO module. The report describes how the implementation has been carried out and describes the parts that were implemented and give the company, WireFlow AB, a good basis for future development. The result shows that it is possible to integrate the ABCC modules in cRIO both in terms of hardware and software integrating. The thesis delivered a working cRIO prototype to the company together with adriver developed in LabVIEW.
