National Instruments cRIO-9042 CompactRIO Controller
The cRIO-9042 (Part numbers: 785622-01 and 785622-02) is a customizable, embedded controller from National Instruments. This device has an amazing range of random vibration for different operations. It is 5 g for the frequency range of 10 to 500 Hz. It also offers the value of 5 g for sinusoidal vibration, within the frequency range of 10 to 500 Hz. The cRIO-9042 has an ingress protection of IP20 and a maximum recommended altitude of 5000 meters for normal operation. This model is intended for indoor use only and has a pollution degree of 2.
This CompactRIO controller has an amazing value of power consumption, which stands at about 60 watts. The typical standby power usage is 3.4 W at 24 V DC. It is recommended to connect the power supply with a power rating of 100 W at 24 V DC. The NI cRIO-9042 also includes a 1.6 GHz quad-core processor. This controller is embedded with 4 GB DRAM, as well as an onboard 4 GB hard drive.
The NI cRIO-9042 includes one Gigabit Ethernet port and three USB ports. This model additionally comes with one RS232 and one RS485 serial port. The controller comes with a Kintex-7 70T FPGA with a LabVIEW FPGA module. The FPGA helps support advanced control. Other features of this device include built-in TSN technology and an SD card slot.
The NI device has a typical battery life of 10 years when power is applied to the power connector, 7.8 years when stored at temperatures of up to 25 °C, and 5.4 years when stored at temperatures up to 85 °C. The cRIO-9042 is run using the NI RIO driver software, which is compatible with software packages like LabVIEW, the LabVIEW Real-Time module, or the LabVIEW FPGA module.
The NI cRIO-9042 weighs 3 lbs and measures 8.64 × 3.47 × 4.77 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C, a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C, an operating humidity range of 10% RH to 90% RH (noncondensing), and a storage humidity range of 5% RH to 95% RH (noncondensing). The device has a maximum insulation rating of 300 V.
