Description
The National Instruments cRIO-9038 is a versatile and robust controller designed for industrial applications. This controller is available in two part numbers: 783850-01 and 783850-02, the latter of which features a conformal coating for additional protection in harsh environments. At the heart of the cRIO-9038 is a powerful Xilinx Kintex-7 160T FPGA, which provides substantial computing power for real-time processing and control tasks.
The system is equipped with 2 GB of DDR3 memory and 8 GB of nonvolatile storage on a hard drive, ensuring ample space for complex applications and data logging. The Intel Atom E3825, 1.33 GHz Dual Core CPU, offers efficient processing capabilities, making the cRIO-9038 an ideal choice for demanding industrial applications.
For modular expansion, the cRIO-9038 features 8 slots for C Series modules, allowing for a wide range of I/O options to meet specific application needs. The device is designed with attention to user interaction, featuring LED indicators for power, supply (V1/V2), status, and user LEDs, providing clear and immediate feedback on the system’s operation.
Connectivity is a strong suit of the cRIO-9038, with 2 tri-speed RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports for network connectivity and a RS-232 RJ-50, 10-position modular jack serial port for local serial communications. This ensures that the device can be easily integrated into existing networks and communicate with other devices seamlessly.
The cRIO-9038 is built to last, with a sturdy construction that weighs 4 lbs and dimensions of 12.94 x 3.47 x 4.30 inches, making it suitable for mounting in a variety of industrial settings. For software configuration and management, it utilizes the NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), which provides a user-friendly interface for system setup and monitoring.
