National Instruments cRIO-9068 CompactRIO Controller

The National Instruments cRIO-9068 (Part Numbers: 782663-01 and 782663-02) is an Embedded, RT Controller designed for C Series Modules. This controller comes with a dual-core 667 MHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, 512 MB DRAM, reconfigurable Zynq-7020 FPGA, 1 GB internal storage, and 8 slots. The NI cRIO-9068 is a combination of an embedded chassis and a real-time controller for CompactRIO.

This model comes with two RS-232 Serial Ports, one RS-485 Serial Port, two Ethernet Ports, as well as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) host port. Unlike its predecessor, the power connector of the cRIO-9068 has terminals for two power inputs, which allows the user to utilize redundant power supplies in a primary and secondary configuration. In its standard configuration, the NI cRIO-9068 operates from the primary power source (V1 input) and switches over to the secondary power source (V2) automatically when needed. The device has a 10/100/1,000 Ethernet network interface which is compatible with IEEE 802.3, and has communication rates of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1,000 Mbps auto-negotiated.

For the safety of the controller and associated power supplies, the cRIO-9068 Controller comes with reverse-voltage protection. Different power accessories are available on the market for this module, including: NI PS-15 (Part Number: 781093-01) and NI PS-10 (Part Number: 782698-01) power supplies. Moreover, the user can also acquire NI 9979 (Part Number: 196939-01), which is a strain relief specifically designed for the 4-position power connector incorporated in the NI cRIO-9068.

The NI cRIO-9068 operates using the NI-Industrial Communications for EtherCAT driver software. A choice Application Development Environment (ADE) such as LabVIEW is also required. The software can be configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. The device has 16 DMA channels with 32 logical interrupts. Physically, the controller weighs 41.1 oz.

The universal serial bus host port provided in this model can be used for connecting various USB devices, including keyboards, a mouse, cameras, etc. The user can also utilize a USB-to-IDE adapter for attaching IDE storage devices with this controller. In most cases, USB mass storage devices are used to transfer data to or from the controller.

National Instruments cRIO-9068 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Does NI Veristand run on the NI cRIO-9068 Controller?

Answer: Unfortunately, Veristand Validation and Test software is not supported on the Controller.

Question: Can you deploy a second cRIO-9068 with similar configuration to another device?

Answer: Yes, you can replicate the cRIO controller using the replication and deployment utility.

Question: What does it mean when the status LED of the NI cRIO-9068 blinks twice every few seconds?

Answer: The LED blinking twice means there is a software error. Hit the reset button for 10 seconds, then format and reinstall the NI cRIO-9068 with the latest driver version.
