Description
The 151866G-11L is a part of the Single-Board RIO Multifunction category, specifically the sbRIO-9633 model. This device serves as a controller that is equipped with an LX25 FPGA, providing a comprehensive development kit that supports IDC. It is designed to handle a variety of applications thanks to its versatile port configuration, which includes 1x RS-485 serial, 2x RS-232 serial, 1x CAN, 1x USB, and 1x SDHC ports.
The core of the sbRIO-9633’s processing capabilities is the Freescale 400 MHz CPU and the Spartan-6 LX25 FPGA, which enables significant programmable logic and processing speed for real-time operations. The device runs on a real-time operating system supported by LabVIEW RT, ensuring reliable performance in time-critical applications.
With regards to analog and digital signal processing, this unit boasts 16 AI channels with 12-bit resolution, capable of sampling rates up to 500 kS/s at voltages ranging from 0 to 5V. It also has 4 AO channels with 12-bit resolution and 28 digital I/O channels that are 3.3V bidirectional, providing ample connectivity for a wide range of sensors and actuators.
The onboard storage capacity of 256 MB allows for significant data logging and software application storage. Moreover, the FPGA specifications include 30,064 flip-flops, 15,032 LUTs, 38 DSP48s, 5 DMA channels, and 936 kbits of block RAM, highlighting the device’s robust programmable logic capabilities.
Communication speeds are competitive, with the RS-485 supporting baud rates up to 460,800 bps and the RS-232 up to 230,400 bps, allowing for fast and efficient data transfer.
Despite its obsolete status, as announced by National Instruments, the sbRIO-9633 remains
