Description
The National Instruments NI cRIO 9073 is a robust CompactRIO Controller with a 266 MHz CPU and a Xilinx Spartan-3 2M FPGA, featuring 128 MB of Nonvolatile Memory and 64 MB of DRAM. It offers 8 slots for modular flexibility and is identified by its part number 780471-01. Connectivity is provided via a single Ethernet Port that supports both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX standards compatible with IEEE 802.3, and a Serial Port capable of up to 115,200 bps using RS-232 protocol.
The FPGA within this controller is impressively equipped with 40,960 flip-flops, 40,960 input LUTs, 40 multipliers, 720 Kbits of block RAM, and 3 DMA channels, allowing for advanced control and processing capabilities. Configuration and setup are streamlined using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool.
For installation, the device can be mounted on a panel or a 35 mm DIN rail, with the panel mount method recommended for environments with high vibration and shock. Networking is facilitated using a standard CAT-5, twisted pair, and shielded Ethernet cable, with a crossover cable required for direct connection to a host machine.
It has a maximum power consumption of 20 W and accepts a power supply input range of 19 V to 30 V. The weight specification was not provided in the data set.
