Description
The roboRIO is designed to cater to a wide range of applications, from general to industrial uses, with specific part numbers for each application, namely 783581-01 for general use and 784337-01 for industrial use. At the heart of the roboRIO is the Xilinx Z-7020 All Programmable SoC, which incorporates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor running at 667 MHz, ensuring robust performance for demanding applications.
Memory capacity comes in at 512 MB nonvolatile, providing ample space for programs and data storage. Networking capabilities are addressed with an IEEE 802.3 compatible Ethernet interface, supporting both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX at 10/100 Mbps with auto-negotiated speeds, and a maximum cabling distance of 100 meters per segment. This ensures that the roboRIO can be easily integrated into existing networks and communicate effectively with other devices.
A variety of ports including I2C, SPI, RS232, USB, Ethernet, PWM, and Relays enhance the roboRIO’s connectivity, allowing for the attachment of a wide array of peripherals and sensors. Programming the roboRIO is facilitated through the LabVIEW platform, offering a user-friendly yet powerful environment for developing applications.
Among its key features are LED indicators that provide visual status updates and an onboard accelerometer that opens up possibilities for motion sensing and control applications. For different geographical regions, a selection of power cords is available, with part numbers 784611-01 for the U.S., 784611-04 for Europe, 784611-06 for the U.K., 784611-07 for Japan, 784611-09 for Korea, and 784611-10 for China, ensuring compatibility with local power standards. In case of a power supply failure, a replacement is available under part number 784502-01.
