Description
The cRIO-9038 is a compact and rugged controller designed for advanced industrial and embedded applications. It is available in two part numbers: 783850-01 and 783850-02, with the latter featuring a conformal coating for additional protection against harsh environments.
At the heart of the cRIO-9038 is a powerful Xilinx Kintex-7 160T FPGA, which provides substantial processing power for custom signal processing and control algorithms. This is complemented by 2 GB of DDR3 memory and an 8 GB nonvolatile hard drive for efficient data management and storage.
The controller is powered by an Intel Atom E3825, 1.33 GHz dual-core CPU, which balances performance with energy efficiency. It is equipped with 8 slots for C Series I/O modules, offering flexibility to connect to a wide range of sensors and actuators.
For connectivity, the cRIO-9038 features 2 tri-speed RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports and a RS-232 serial port (RJ-50, 10-position modular jack), enabling easy integration into existing networks and systems. It also includes LED indicators for power, supply status, and user notifications, providing at-a-glance system monitoring.
The unit is designed for durability and reliability, with a weight of 4 lbs and dimensions of 12.94 x 3.47 x 4.30 inches. This makes it suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments without compromising on performance.
Configuration and management of the cRIO-9038 are facilitated through the NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), a comprehensive tool that simplifies setup and deployment.
