National Instruments 783849-01

The National Instruments 783849-01 CompactRIO Controller, designated as model cRIO-9036, is engineered for sophisticated control and monitoring applications requiring robust performance. It is powered by a dual-core Intel Atom E3825 processor operating at 1.33 GHz and a Kintex-7 70T FPGA, making it well-suited for intensive FPGA-based tasks and real-time data processing. Equipped with 1 GB of DDR3L RAM and 4 GB of nonvolatile solid-state storage, this controller ensures reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. The 783849-01 runs on the NI Linux Real-Time operating system, a 64-bit platform designed for optimal real-time performance, and supports various National Instruments products, including LabVIEW 2014 SP1 or later, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, and the LabVIEW FPGA Module. Integration with Eclipse Edition 2014 or later facilitates C/C++ development.

Connectivity is a standout feature of the 783849-01, featuring two tri-speed RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports conforming to IEEE 802.3 standards, which support auto-negotiated communication rates of up to 1,000 Mb/s over a maximum cabling distance of 100 meters. Additionally, the controller includes two RS-232 ports and one RS-485/422 (DTE) serial port, accommodating a range of serial communication options with baud rates reaching 115,200 b/s. The RS-485/422 port provides electrical isolation up to 60 V DC, ensuring safe operation in electrically noisy environments. For further expansion, the 783849-01 offers two USB 2.0 host ports and one USB 2.0 device port, each achieving data rates up to 480 Mb/s, with a total current output of 1 A available to power peripheral devices. Users can easily create and monitor applications through a local human-machine interface (HMI) supported by a Mini DisplayPort, delivering a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1600 at 60 Hz.
