Description
The cRIO-9038, manufactured by National Instruments, is a compact and powerful controller designed for demanding control and monitoring applications. This controller is available in two part numbers, 783850-01 and 783850-02, with the latter featuring a conformal coating for additional protection in harsh environments.
At the heart of the cRIO-9038 is an Intel Atom E3825 CPU, operating at 1.33 GHz across two cores, providing a balance of performance and energy efficiency. Complementing the processor is a Xilinx Kintex-7 160T FPGA, offering extensive flexibility for custom signal processing and control algorithms.
The system is equipped with 2 GB of DDR3 memory and an 8 GB nonvolatile hard drive, ensuring ample space for application code, data logging, and operating system files. For connecting C Series I/O modules, it provides 8 slots, allowing users to customize the controller’s I/O capabilities based on their specific requirements.
For connectivity, the cRIO-9038 includes two tri-speed RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports and a RS-232 RJ-50 serial port, facilitating communication with networked devices and serial peripherals, respectively. Additionally, it features several LED indicators for power, V2 input, status, and user-defined signals, making system diagnostics and monitoring straightforward.
The device is notably compact, with dimensions of 12.94 x 3.47 x 4.30 inches and a weight of 4 lbs, making it suitable for installations where space is at a premium. Finally, the cRIO-9038 is compatible with LabVIEW Real-Time and NI-R, ensuring that developers have access to powerful programming environments and tools to accelerate the development of sophisticated control and monitoring systems.
