Description
The CompactRIO Controllers offered under part numbers 780920-01 and 780920-02 are designated as model cRIO-9118. These controllers are described as 8-slot Virtex-5 LX 110 Reconfigurable Chassis for cRIO, designed to accommodate a variety of module configurations to suit specific application needs.
The programming interface for these controllers is LabVIEW FPGA, which facilitates the development and deployment of custom FPGA designs. Users can leverage the flexibility of this programming environment to implement complex logic and control algorithms directly on the hardware.
Moreover, the cRIO-9118 supports two distinct module interface modes: FPGA Interface mode and Scan Interface mode. These modes offer versatility in how modules communicate with the FPGA, enabling either direct control by the FPGA or simplified access via scanned I/O variables.
For ease of monitoring and diagnostics, these controllers are equipped with logic side indicators and LED status indicators. These provide immediate visual feedback on the operational state of the device, simplifying troubleshooting and system checks.
The inclusion of the NI Scan Engine technology enhances the efficiency of single-point access to I/O channels. This feature streamlines the process of interfacing with external sensors and actuators, making it easier to implement real-time control and monitoring applications.
Key performance factors for the cRIO-9118 include the I/O Scan Thread and I/O Variable node. These elements are critical for achieving high-speed data acquisition and control, ensuring that applications can meet stringent timing and throughput requirements.
