Description
The CompactRIO Controller cRIO-9066, identified by part number 783169-01, is a sophisticated piece of equipment falling under the CompactRIO Controllers category. This controller is designed to meet the demands of complex control and monitoring tasks. It boasts a 667 Dual-Core Processor, which is complemented by 512 MB of storage and 256 MB of DRAM. The device is uniquely equipped with 8 slots for modular expansion and customization according to specific project requirements.
The cRIO-9066 operates on the National Instruments Linux Real-Time OS, ensuring reliable performance and real-time processing capabilities. For connectivity, it features a USB 2.0 Hi-speed device port with a standard B connector enabling up to 480Mbps max data rate, alongside a USB 2.0 Hi-speed host port with a standard A connector also supporting up to 480Mbps max data rate. Additionally, it includes 1 RS-232 Serial Port for serial communication and a tri-speed Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet port which automatically obtains an IP address for network connectivity.
For ease of use and maintenance, the controller includes a RESET Button available for processor reset and safe mode start. It also comes equipped with several LED indicators including POWER, STATUS, and 2 USER configurable LEDs, providing clear visual feedback on the device’s operational status. The built-in RT Clock ensures accurate time-keeping for time-sensitive applications.
Compatibility with software and drivers is critical for effective deployment. The cRIO-9066 requires NI-RIO device drivers version 14.0 or later. Moreover, it supports LabVIEW 2014 or later, including the LabVIEW Real-Time Module and the LabVIEW FPGA Module from the 2014 edition onwards, facilitating versatile development and deployment of custom applications tailored to specific needs.
