National Instruments CompactRIO cRIO-908x systems and sbRIO-9605/06 boards

The NI cRIO-908x systems feature an Intel Core i7 1.33 GHz dual-core processor for increased processing power, Xilinx Spartan-6 field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and the option of a Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7) OS configuration for monitoring and control applications that require high performance and the ruggedness of CompactRIO. For high-volume and OEM applications, the single-board NI sbRIO-9605/06 devices are sized from less than 102.87 x 96.52 mm and offer greater customisation and I/O support than previous versions.

With the higher performance processor and FPGA, the cRIO-908x systems deliver the highest processing power of any CompactRIO product and are suitable for performing complex signal processing and control within applications such as rapid control prototyping, advanced motion control and machine vision. The systems also provide a variety of peripheral connectivity including two gigabit ethernet ports, an MXI Express port, four USB ports, RS232 and RS485 serial ports and a CPU eXpansion Module (CXM) that makes it possible to add custom connectivity and expansion to CompactRIO using industry standard protocols.

The NI single-board RIO devices provide a small and cost-optimised form factor for the NI RIO platform and are suitable for embedded monitoring and control applications in industries such as energy and medical. The devices feature a 400 MHz processor and Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA to provide reliability and performance for OEMs. The devices also offer built-in peripherals such as RS232, CANbus, USB and ethernet.
