Description
The cRIO-9038 is a compact and robust controller designed by National Instruments, a leading manufacturer in the field of automated test equipment and virtual instrumentation software. This model comes with two part numbers: 783850-01 and 783850-02, with the latter featuring a conformal coating for additional protection against environmental factors.
At the heart of the cRIO-9038 is the Xilinx Kintex-7 160T FPGA, providing significant processing power and flexibility for custom applications. It is complemented by 2 GB of DDR3 memory and 8 GB of non-volatile storage, ensuring ample space for both your application code and data storage. The device is powered by an Intel Atom E3825, a 1.33 GHz dual-core processor, which balances performance and energy efficiency.
This model is equipped with 8 I/O module slots, offering extensive connectivity and expansion options to meet the requirements of various applications. Additionally, it includes two RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports for network connectivity and a RS-232 serial port (RJ-50, 10-position modular jack) for serial communication, making it highly versatile in terms of interfacing with other devices.
For ease of monitoring and diagnostics, the cRIO-9038 features several LED indicators for power, supply status, and user-defined signals. Its physical dimensions are 12.94 x 3.47 x 4.30 inches, and it weighs approximately 4 lbs, making it compact enough for installation in space-constrained environments.
Software configuration for the cRIO-9038 is managed through the NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), LabVIEW Real-Time, the NI-RIO Device Driver, and LabVIEW FPGA. These tools provide a comprehensive environment for developing, deploying, and managing applications on the cRIO-9038, ensuring users can fully leverage the capabilities of this powerful controller.
