National Instruments cRIO-9066 CompactRIO Controller

The National Instruments cRIO-9066 (Part Number: 783169-01) is a CompactRIO Controller with 667 Dual-Core Processor, 512 MB storage, and 256 MB DRAM, equipped with 8 slots. This embedded Controller is ideal for advanced monitoring and controlling applications. The NI cRIO-9066 comes equipped with a real-time processor (running the National Instruments Linux Real-Time OS, as well as an FPGA). This Controller comes equipped with one USB Device Port (USB 2.0 Hi-speed with a standard B connector, which transfers data at a maximum rate of 480Mbps), one RS-232 Serial Port, one USB Host Port (USB 2.0 Hi-speed with a standard A connector, which transfers data at a maximum rate of 480Mbps), and one RJ-45 Ethernet Port-It facilitates connection of the device to a Host computer/network by means of ethernet.

The Ethernet port incorporated in the cRIO NI 9066 is a tri-speed, Gigabit port, which comes configured and enabled to automatically obtain an IP address. The serial port provided in this model can be employed for connecting various serial devices, such as input devices and displays. This Controller supports USB flash drives, USB input devices, and USB cameras with the USB host port. For device configuration, debugging, maintenance, and application deployment, users can use the USB device port. Also, the device can be configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

 The NI cRIO 9066 has a RESET button that can be used to reset the processer. With this RESET button, the user can also start the Controller in safe mode. In addition to a POWER LED and a STATUS LED, two USER configurable LEDs are available on the front panel of this Controller as well. The user can utilize the RT LEDs VI to define the USER LED 1, whereas the LabVIEW FPGA Module can be utilized to define the USER FPGA LED. This CompactRIO Controller has an internal RT clock as well.

The NI cRIO 9066 operates on the NI-RIO Device drivers 14.0 or later versions. Also, it runs on a variety of application software-LabVIEW 2014 or later versions, LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2014 or later versions, LabVIEW FPGA Module 2014 or later versions.
