Description
The CompactRIO Chassis, part number 781316-01, is a high-performance, rugged chassis designed for industrial and embedded applications. This chassis, identified by its model number NI-9157, features a 14-slot configuration, providing ample space for various module types to accommodate complex system requirements.
The chassis is powered by a Virtex-5 LX85 FPGA, ensuring efficient processing and flexible system design. It utilizes an MXI-Express interface for high-speed communication, enhancing its capability to handle data-intensive applications.
An outstanding feature of the NI-9157 is its daisy-chain capability, which allows up to 6 NI MXI-Express RIO models to be connected, significantly expanding the system’s reach and functionality. Additionally, it supports chain coupling with the ability to connect up to 8 chains per controller, offering unparalleled scalability and flexibility in system design.
Users have the option to configure power-up settings according to their needs, including choices such as Do Not Autoload VI, or Autoload VI on device power-up, providing versatility in application deployment. The chassis also requires an external power supply for filtering and regulating power, ensuring stable operation across various conditions.
The inclusion of redundant power terminals, labeled as V and C terminals, along with reverse-voltage protection, safeguards the system against power anomalies, enhancing its reliability and longevity in demanding environments. Additionally, the chassis is equipped with a NO FPGA APP switch, offering flexibility in FPGA application deployment.
For ease of monitoring, the chassis features LED indicators, including 1 Power (bi-color) and 3 User FPGA, providing at-a-glance status updates and simplifying troubleshooting processes.
