National Instruments 783170-01 CompactRIO Controller

Part number 783170-01 from National Instruments is for the cRIO-9067 CompactRIO Controller. This controller supports the 32-bit NI Linux Real-Time OS, and features a reconfigurable FPGA with a Xilinx Zynq-7000 processor. Equipped with 1 GB of nonvolatile memory and 512 MB of volatile memory, the 783170-01 is perfect for a wide variety of applications. With a voltage input range of 9 V DC to 30 V DC, the controller has a maximum power input of 25 W when all 4 slots are being utilized with C Series modules. The maximum input reduces to 17 W when modules are not being used.

The screw terminal wiring of the 783170-01 accommodates 24 AWG to 14 AWG copper conductor wire with a strip length of 6 mm. The controller also has standard A and B connector USB ports that can transmit data at speeds of up to 480 Mb/s. Additionally, the device comes equipped with a built in Real-Time Clock that offers an accuracy of 5 ppm. 

The 783170-01 is equipped with a variety of LEDs which provide a convenient visual way for the user to assess information regarding the Power, Status, User1, User FPGA1, and RJ-46 Ethernet aspects of the controller. The User1 and User FPGA1 LEDs can be individually defined to meet the needs of the user’s specific application. 

The battery of the controller offers a typical lifespan of 10 years, with power applied to the power connector, and 5 years in storage at 55°C. The 783170-01 has an operating temperature range of -20 °C to 55 °C (-4 °F to 131 °F) for optimal functionality, and it should be stored within a temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C (-40 °F to 185 °F). for safety. This robust CompactRIO controller is able to operate at up to 5,000 meters of altitude and can withstand random vibrations up to 5 g RMS.
