National Instruments cRIO-9030 CompactRIO Controller

The cRIO-9030 (Part number: 783450-01, 156502C-11L) is an advanced CompactRIO Controller manufactured by National Instruments. This model is equipped with a 1.33 GHz dual core intel atom processor and a Kintex-7 70T FPGA. This model is embedded with the NI Linux Real-Time operating system. It is also structured with an embedded user interface capability. The National Instruments NI cRIO-9030 has a mini display port. This feature helps simplify the application development by adding a local human interface. The rugged Controller comes with an SDHC slot. This slot can write to and read from NI-approved SD cards. It has many ports which provide multiple connectivity options.

The NI cRIO 9030 has 2 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Both ports can obtain an IP address automatically. These ports are configurable in MAX. The Controller has a connector. It can be connected with either a primary or secondary power supply. The cRIO 9030 comes with a reserve cottage protection feature. When power is applied to both inputs (V1 and V2), the cRIO-9030 CompactRIO Controller operates from the V1 input. In case of an insufficient supply, the Controller starts to operate from the V2 input.

The cRIO 9030 also comes with a USB port to support mass storage devices like USB-to-IDE adapters and USB cameras. It also supports USB Flash drives, keyboards, and a mouse. The cRIO 9030 USB device port is used for device configuration and debugging. It is also intended for application deployment and maintenance. The Controller is equipped with a 4 GB hard drive and 1 GB RAM. It supports GigE Vision and is viable for unconventional monitoring and control applications.
