Description
The CompactRIO Controllers, particularly the cRIO-9081 model, are designed to offer a high-performance integrated system. These controllers are equipped with an 8-slot chassis and are powered by a Spartan-6 LX75 FPGA from Xilinx, tailored for real-time operations. The core of this system is an Intel Celeron U3405 processor, clocked at 1.06 GHz, and featuring a dual-core setup for efficient processing capabilities.
The cRIO-9081 boasts a substantial internal storage capacity of 16 GB, accompanied by 2 GB of DRAM to support demanding applications. This model is compatible with Windows Embedded Standard 7 and other real-time operating systems, ensuring a versatile and adaptable platform for various development needs.
Connectivity options are robust, with two Ethernet ports supporting 10/100/1000Base-T configurations for network connections. Additionally, it offers a blend of serial communication capabilities with one RS-232 port and one RS-485/422 (DTE) port. The maximum baud rates for RS-232 and RS-485/422 are 115,200 bps and 230,400 bps, respectively, facilitating fast and reliable data transmission.
The MXI-Express port on the cRIO-9081 provides a high-speed connection at 2.5 Gbps, with a maximum cabling distance of 7 meters, allowing for flexible system configuration and expansion. Moreover, the system includes four USB 2.0 Hi-Speed ports, each supporting data transfer rates of up to 480 Mb/s, enabling quick and efficient data exchanges with external devices.
In terms of cache, the cRIO-9081 is equipped with 256 KB x2 on-die L2 and 2 MB on-die L3 (shared) caches, enhancing the processing efficiency by reducing data access times. The part numbers for this model are 781787-01 and 781787-11, indicating specific configurations or regional variants of the cRIO-9081 controller.
