National Instruments 784963-01

The National Instruments 784963-01 Industrial Controller, known as the IC-3171, is engineered for robust industrial applications. It is powered by an Intel Celeron 3765U processor, operating at a base frequency of 1.9 GHz, and is supported by 4 GB of DDR3L RAM with a data rate of 1600 MT/s. The device offers non-volatile storage options of 4 GB and 32 GB, ensuring reliable data retention. Additionally, it incorporates a Xilinx Kintex-7 XC7K160T reconfigurable FPGA, featuring 202,800 flip-flops, 101,400 six-input lookup tables (LUTs), 600 DSP48E1 slices, and 32 DMA channels for enhanced processing capabilities.

Equipped with comprehensive networking options, the 784963-01 supports Ethernet standards including IEEE 802.3, 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T via an RJ45 interface, facilitating data speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The controller operates under certified operating systems, including NI Linux Real-Time 64-bit and Windows Embedded Standard 7 64-bit. The device requires a supply voltage of 9 to 30 VDC under standard conditions and 21.6 to 30 VDC when utilizing Power over Ethernet (PoE), with a maximum power input of 150 W.

Further connectivity enhancements include two USB 3.0 ports offering 5 Gbps speeds, four USB 2.0 ports with speeds of 480 Mbit/s, and two display ports supporting up to 3840 x 2160 resolution at 60 Hz. The controller also features an RS-485/422/232 serial port using an RJ50 interface at baud rates up to 115200 kbps, alongside eight bidirectional TTL I/O channels and two differential I/O channels capable of pulse rates up to 5 MHz.

The physical dimensions of the 784963-01 are 6.9 in × 3.7 in × 6.6 in with a weight of 3.039 kg. It is designed for operation in environments ranging from 0 °C to 55 °C, with a restricted temperature range of 0 °C to 50 °C when PoE exceeds 30 W. A user-replaceable 3V BR2032 lithium-carbon monofluoride coin cell battery ensures reliable power backup, sustaining performance in critical applications.
