National Instruments 782663-01 CompactRIO Controller

Part of the cRIO-9068 Model series, the National Instruments 782663-01 CompactRIO Controller is an embedded controller intended for sophisticated control and monitoring applications. With a Xilinx Zynq-7020 FPGA for high-performance processing and flexibility, this controller runs on the NI Linux Real-Time OS and has a 667 MHz dual-core CPU, 512 MB DRAM, and 1 GB of nonvolatile storage. Because of its broad temperature range and robust construction, the CompactRIO 782663-01 is appropriate for use in demanding industrial situations.

This controller supports a wide range of applications by offering multiple connectivity options. It features two RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports with tri-speed capabilities. By default, these ports are set up to automatically find an IP address, but users have the option to change this setting using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Its adaptability in data acquisition and user interface duties is increased by the USB host port's support for standard USB devices such flash drives, keyboards, mouse, and cameras.

Comprehensive serial communication capabilities are also offered by the 782663-01. It has one RS-485 serial port and two RS-232 serial ports on it. The RS-232 ports enable connections to a variety of serial devices, such as displays and input devices, and offer maximum baud rates of 230,400 b/s with customizable data bits, stop bits, and parity options. Similar baud rates and data formats are available with the RS-485 port, which is perfect for reliable industrial communication because it also supports 4-wire and 2-wire auto transmission modes in addition to a continuous isolation voltage of 60 V DC.

The Xilinx Zynq-7020 FPGA, which is present in the 782663-01, has 106,400 flip-flops, 53,200 6-input LUTs, 220 DSP slices, and 4,480 kbits of block RAM. With its support for 32 logical interrupts and 16 DMA channels, this FPGA offers plenty of capacity for unique control algorithms and real-time processing jobs.In data gathering and control applications, the CompactRIO 782663-01 offers dependable time-stamping and synchronization because of its precise internal real-time clock, which has a precision of 5 ppm.

With an input voltage range of 9 V to 30 V and a maximum power consumption of 25 W, the 782663-01's power requirements are flexible, allowing it to be used in industrial settings under a variety of power supply conditions.
