Description
The National Instruments cRIO-FRC CompactRIO Chassis is designed to provide robust connectivity options with a CAT-5 or superior protected, bent pair Ethernet link, allowing for easy integration into a system via an Ethernet hub or Ethernet crossover cable to connect to a PC. It requires an external power supply, which it effectively channels and controls to supply power to the I/O modules. The chassis is engineered with one layer of surge voltage protection for added safety and reliability. Upon startup, the Power and Status LEDs perform a Power-on Self Test (POST) to ensure proper functionality. The system is capable of running embedded stand-alone LabVIEW RT applications, which are supported by the device’s software capabilities. Additionally, it provides a serial port that can be used to connect to various devices, such as displays or input devices, thus enhancing its versatility in different applications.
