Description
The cRIO-9038, manufactured by National Instruments, is a compact and robust controller designed for advanced industrial applications. It comes with part numbers 783850-01 and 783850-02, where the latter is conformal coated for additional protection in harsh environments.
At the heart of the cRIO-9038 is an Intel Atom E3825, a 1.33 GHz dual-core processor, paired with a Xilinx Kintex-7 160T FPGA. This combination provides a powerful platform for handling complex computations and real-time processing. The system is supported by 2 GB of DDR3 memory and 8 GB of nonvolatile storage, ensuring ample space for software applications and data logging.
This model is equipped with 8 slots for C Series modules, offering flexibility in I/O options to meet various application needs. For connectivity, it features two tri-speed RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports and a RS-232 serial port (RJ-50, 10-position modular jack), enabling easy integration into existing networks and facilitating communication with other devices.
The cRIO-9038 also includes several LED indicators for power, supply, status, and user-defined signals, providing immediate visual feedback on the system’s operational state. Its compact dimensions of 12.94 x 3.47 x 4.30 inches and a weight of 4 lbs make it suitable for space-constrained applications.
Software compatibility is a key feature of the cRIO-9038, supporting LabVIEW Real-Time, NI-RIO Device Driver, and the LabVIEW FPGA module. These software tools enable developers to create highly customized applications tailored to specific requirements, further enhancing the utility of this versatile controller.
