Description
The CompactRIO Chassis, model NI-9157, is identified by its part number 199305B-01L (781316-01). This chassis is equipped with 14 slots for module installation and operates with a Virtex-5 LX85 FPGA. It utilizes an MXI-Express interface for connectivity purposes.
One of the key features of this model is its capability to support a maximum chain of 6 NI MXI-Express RIO models, with up to 8 chains per controller. This allows for extensive system scalability and flexibility in application design.
Regarding power-up options, users have the flexibility to choose between “Do Not Autoload VI” and “Autoload VI on device power-up”, providing versatility in how the device initializes. The power supply requirement is external, with redundant pairs of V and C terminals, ensuring reliable operation and reducing the risk of power-related issues.
Additionally, the chassis comes with integrated reverse-voltage protection, safeguarding the device against potential damage caused by incorrect power supply connections. Another noteworthy feature is the inclusion of a NO FPGA APP switch, allowing for easier troubleshooting and configuration adjustments.
For visual monitoring, the chassis is equipped with 1 Power (bi-color) LED and 3 User FPGA LEDs, offering immediate feedback on the device’s state and activity.
