Product Details：

Product Dimensions：

The cRIO-9063 is an integrated system that combines a real-time processor and a user-programmable FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) within a single chassis. It features four slots for C Series I/O modules, allowing for customized sensor measurements and control. Built on the LabVIEW Reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture, it runs the NI Linux Real-Time operating system, which provides developers with the flexibility of the Linux ecosystem while maintaining the deterministic performance required for industrial control.

Product Parameters

The cRIO-9063 is characterized by its balanced hardware specifications designed for efficiency and reliability:

Processor: Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with a clock speed of $667 \text{ MHz}$.
Operating System: NI Linux Real-Time (64-bit).
FPGA: Xilinx Zynq-7000 (Z-7010), featuring 28,000 logic cells and 80 DSP slices.
Memory: $256 \text{ MB}$ of DDR3 RAM and $512 \text{ MB}$ of nonvolatile storage for data logging and program storage.
Network Connectivity: One Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Mbps) for high-speed communication and web-based monitoring.
Peripheral Interfacing: One USB 2.0 Hi-Speed host port for connecting external storage or peripherals.
Slot Count: 4 slots for NI C Series modules.
Power Requirement: Input voltage range of $9 \text{ V}$ to $30 \text{ VDC}$ .
Dimensions: Approximately $178.1 \text{ mm} \times 88.1 \text{ mm} \times 64.3 \text{ mm}$ .

Product Advantages

Value and Performance: The cRIO-9063 offers a significant performance boost over previous generations while remaining at a price point suitable for large-scale deployment.
Heterogeneous Computing: By combining a CPU and an FPGA on a single chip (Zynq System-on-Chip), the module provides high-speed timing, synchronization, and complex signal processing that a standard CPU cannot achieve alone.
Ruggedized Design: It is built to operate in harsh environments, featuring a wide operating temperature range of $-20\text{°C}$ to $55\text{°C}$ and high shock and vibration resistance.
Software Flexibility: Support for the NI Linux Real-Time OS allows users to leverage existing C/C++ libraries or utilize LabVIEW for rapid development of control and monitoring applications.
Compact Footprint: The 4-slot integrated design is ideal for space-constrained applications where a separate controller and backplane would be too bulky.

Important Considerations and Precautions

Thermal Management: While rugged, the unit requires proper ventilation. Users must ensure adequate clearance around the cooling vents to prevent thermal throttling or hardware damage.
C Series Compatibility: While most C Series modules are compatible, users should check the specific power requirements and signal levels of the modules to ensure they do not exceed the chassis power budget.
Grounding: Proper electrical grounding of the chassis is critical to ensure measurement accuracy and protect the internal electronics from electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Programming Requirements: To fully utilize the FPGA, users typically require the LabVIEW FPGA Module. Those using C/C++ should be familiar with the NI Linux Real-Time toolchains.
Disconnection Safety: Do not install or remove C Series modules while the system is powered (Hot-swapping is generally not recommended for this specific model unless specified by the module manual).

Product Applications

The cRIO-9063 is widely used across various industries that require "edge" intelligence and high-speed I/O:

Industrial Control and Monitoring: Used for complex machine control, condition monitoring of rotating machinery, and power quality analysis in smart grids.
Energy and Utilities: Implementing advanced control algorithms for solar inverters, wind turbine control, and smart grid synchronization.
Embedded OEM Applications: Due to its low cost and small size, it is frequently integrated into medical devices, specialized industrial printers, and mobile robotic platforms.
Transportation: Used for in-vehicle data logging, heavy equipment control, and railway monitoring systems where vibration and temperature fluctuations are common.
Academic and Research: Serving as a platform for prototyping high-speed control systems or performing high-fidelity data acquisition in laboratory environments.
