Description
The CompactRIO Controllers, particularly the model cRIO-9118, is identified by its part number 780920-02. This model features an 8 slot Virtex-5 LX 110 Chassis designed for cRIO systems, which comes with a conformal coat for added protection.
It is engineered to be programmed using LabVIEW FPGA, offering a flexible and powerful programming interface. The cRIO-9118 operates in FPGA Interface Mode for AI modules, while also supporting Scan Interface mode for alternate modules, providing versatility in application.
For easy monitoring, this model includes I/O Point Status Indicators on the logic side, with LED on/off status reflecting the CPU status, making it straightforward to check the system’s health at a glance.
Moreover, it incorporates the NI Scan Engine, which ensures efficient single-point access. This engine updates all values at a single rate (scan period), streamlining the data acquisition process.
Key performance factors of the cRIO-9118 include the I/O Scan Thread for hardware resources and the I/O Variable Node for software resources, highlighting the system’s ability to balance between hardware performance and software agility.
