National Instruments cRIO-9034 CompactRIO Controller

The cRIO-9034 (Part number: 783453-01) is an industrial grade Controller designed by National Instruments. This model has various startup options for configuration, which include: Force Safe Mode, Enable Console out Mode, and Disable RT Startup App Mode. It can also be configured in Disable FPGA Startup App Mode and Enable Secure Shell (SSH) Logins Mode. Furthermore, the cRIO 9034 can start up in LabVIEW Project Access Mode and Enable Embedded UI Mode. The NI cRIO-9034 is equipped with a 1.91 GHz quad-core processor. This model also has a 16 GB hard drive and is embedded with 2 GB DRAM. The Controller additionally comes with a Kintex-7 325T FPGA.

The NI cRIO 9034 launches the services necessary for installing software and updating configuration when the model is in the Force Safe Mode. The Controller uses RS-232 serial-port to redirect the console output. It performs when starting up in Enable Console out Mode. The serial-port terminal program is used to read the IP address of the Controller. It can also be used to check the firmware version of the NI cRIO-9034. The Controller can reboot with the Disable RT Startup App Mode. This setting helps prevent any LabVIEW startup applications from running.  

The NI cRIO-9034 can reboot with Disable FPGA Startup App Mode. This setting prevents auto loading any FPGA application. The Controller can start up with SSH Logins Mode. SSH is an encrypted communication protocol. By initiating SSH, the Controller enables logins over SSH. The NI cRIO-9034 can target to a LabVIEW project by rebooting in LabVIEW Project Access Mode.
