Description
The cRIO-9038 is a compact, rugged, industrial-grade controller designed to be the backbone of complex control systems. It is available in part numbers 783850-01 and 783850-02, catering to different requirements with the latter offering a conformal coating for additional protection against harsh environmental conditions.
At the heart of the cRIO-9038 is an Intel Atom E3825 1.33 GHz Dual-Core processor, coupled with 2 GB DDR3 memory, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. The system’s storage needs are met by an 8 GB nonvolatile hard drive, providing ample space for software and data storage. For high-speed processing tasks, the controller is equipped with a Xilinx Kintex-7 160T FPGA, offering exceptional performance and flexibility.
The cRIO-9038 features 8 slots for C Series I/O modules, enabling users to customize their systems according to their specific input/output requirements. This modularity ensures that the system can adapt to a wide range of applications, from simple data logging to complex control and automation tasks.
User interaction and system diagnostics are facilitated by LED indicators for power, supply, status, and user-defined functions, providing at-a-glance system monitoring. Connectivity options include 2 tri-speed RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports for network integration and a RS-232 serial port for legacy equipment and configurations.
Despite its robust capabilities, the cRIO-9038 maintains a compact footprint, weighing just 4 lbs and measuring 12.94 x 3.47 x 4.30 inches. This makes it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications where performance cannot be compromised.
Software compatibility is a key aspect of the cRIO-9038, supporting LabVIEW Real-Time, NI-RIO Device Driver software, and the LabVIEW FPGA module. This compatibility ensures that developers can easily integrate the controller into their systems and leverage powerful programming tools to create sophisticated applications.
