Description
The sbRIO-9651 is a versatile and powerful system on module designed for complex embedded control and monitoring tasks. Manufactured by National Instruments, this model is part of a series including part numbers 783525-01, 783525-02, and 783525-03. It operates on the NI Linux Real-Time operating system, specifically a 32-bit version tailored for time-sensitive and deterministic applications.
At the heart of the sbRIO-9651 is a Xilinx Zynq-7020 FPGA combined with an ARM Cortex-A9 processor. This dual-core processor runs at a speed of 667 MHz, providing a balance between power efficiency and processing capability. To support its operations, it is equipped with 512 MB of both volatile (DRAM) and non-volatile memory, ensuring ample space for real-time data processing and system functionality.
Compatibility with software is broad, supporting the LabVIEW FPGA Module 2014 or later, LabVIEW 2014 or later, and the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2014 or later. For driver support, it requires the NI-RIO Device Drivers August 2014 edition or later versions. This ensures that the sbRIO-9651 can integrate smoothly into existing systems and development environments.
Connectivity options are extensive, featuring USB, RS-232, and RS-485 serial ports, with USB connections supporting a maximum data rate of 480 MB/s. Additionally, it offers CAN0 and CAN1 support for automotive and industrial communication protocols, alongside robust Ethernet support for networked applications.
Despite its obsolete status announced by National Instruments, the sbRIO-9651 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that existing systems using the sbRIO-9651 can continue to operate and be supported well into the future.
