Overview and Applications
System Configuration
National Instruments cRIO-900x real-time embedded controllers offer
powerful stand-alone embedded execution for deterministic LabVIEW
Real-Time applications. The NI cRIO-9002 includes 32 MB of DRAM
memory and 64 MB of nonvolatile flash storage for file storage. The
cRIO-9004 includes 64 MB of DRAM memory and 512 MB of nonvolatile
flash storage for data-logging applications. Both controllers are designed
for extreme ruggedness, reliability, and low power consumption with
dual 9 to 35 VDC supply inputs that deliver isolated power to the
CompactRIO chassis/modules and a -40 to 70 °C temperature range.
A 195 MHz industrial processor balances low power consumption with
powerful real-time floating-point signal processing and analysis
capabilities for deterministic control loops exceeding 1 kHz.
The CompactRIO real-time controller connects to any 4- or 8-slot
CompactRIO reconfigurable chassis. The user-defined FPGA circuitry in
the chassis controls each I/O module and passes data to the controller
through a local PCI bus, using built-in communication functions.
Embedded Software
You can synchronize embedded code execution to an FPGA-generated
interrupt request (IRQ) or an internal millisecond real-time clock source.
The LabVIEW Real-Time ETS OS provides reliability and simplifies the
development of complete embedded applications that include time-critical
control and acquisition loops in addition to lower-priority loops for
postprocessing, data logging, and Ethernet/serial communication.
Built-in elemental I/O functions such as the FPGA Read/Write function
provide a communication interface to the highly optimized reconfigurable
FPGA circuitry. Data values are read from the FPGA in integer format, and
then converted to scaled engineering units in the controller.

Built-In Servers
In addition to programmatic communication via TCP/IP, UDP, Modbus/TCP,
IrDA, and serial protocols, the CompactRIO controllers include built-in
servers for Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA), HTTP, and
FTP. The VISA server provides remote download and communication
access to the reconfigurable I/O (RIO) FPGA over Ethernet. The HTTP
server provides a Web browser user interface to HTML pages, files, and
the user interface of embedded LabVIEW applications through a Web
browser plug-in. The FTP server provides access to logged data or
configuration files.
