National Instruments – Real-Time Controller with 256 MB DRAM, 2 GB Storage (Model: NI cRIO-9022)

• Embedded controller runs LabVIEW Real-Time for deterministic control, data logging, and analysis
• 533 MHz processor, 2 GB nonvolatile storage, 256 MB DDR2 memory
• Dual Ethernet ports with embedded Web and file servers for remote user interfacing
• Hi-Speed USB host port for connection to USB flash and memory devices
• RS232 serial port for connection to peripherals; dual 9 to 35 VDC supply inputs
• -20 to 55 °C operating temperature range.

 The NI cRIO-9022 embedded real-time controller is part of the high-performance CompactRIO programmable automation controller (PAC) platform. It features an industrial 533 MHz Freescale MPC8347 real-time processor for deterministic, reliable real-time applications and contains 256 MB of DDR2 RAM and 2 GB of nonvolatile storage for holding programs and logging data. 

This rugged, reliable controller is designed for low power consumption with dual 9 to 35 VDC supply inputs that deliver power to the CompactRIO chassis/modules and a -20 to 55 °C operating temperature range. The cRIO-9022 accepts 9 to 35 VDC power supply inputs on power-up and 6 to 35 VDC power supply inputs during operation, so it can function for long periods of time in remote applications using a battery or solar power. 

The controller provides two Ethernet ports – 10/100 and 10/100/1000 – that you can use to conduct programmatic communication over the network and built-in Web (HTTP) and file (FTP) servers. The ports also are compatible with the NI 9144 C Series expansion chassis, so you can achieve more deterministic I/O for your application. 

To create additional storage capability for your embedded logging applications, the cRIO-9022 has a Hi-Speed USB host port to which you can connect external USB-based storage media (flash drives and hard drives). In addition, the controller features a fault-tolerant file system that provides increased reliability for data-logging applications.
