National Instruments cRIO-9025 CompactRIO Controller

The cRIO-9025 (Part numbers: 781313-01, 781313-02, 193965B-02L) is an efficient CompactRIO Controller manufactured by National Instruments. This model comes in two versions. One version is a basic version, whereas the other version has a conformal coating. The cRIO-9025 is a member of the PAC platform, which encompasses the automation controllers that are programmable. The NI cRIO-9025 incorporates an industrial scale processor, which makes the Controller suitable for real-time applications. The controller can operate for a long period using a battery or solar power.

The recommended power supply for the device is a 35 VDC external power supply. For the device only, the power consumption is 17 W. When the controller is supply power to 8 C Series modules, the power consumption is 35 W. For complex applications, multiple connectors can be linked. This module is a reliable device for applications in which data is logged. The supported operating system of the device is VxWorks.

The cRIO-9025 CompactRIO Controller is equipped with several ports for different types of connections. The device has two Ethernet ports. These ports support communication at 10 and 100 Mbps. The Controller also has an RS-232 port. This port is used for serial interfaces. The data bits of this port are 5, 6, 7, and 8. The cRIO-9025 also features a high-speed USB port. A maximum of 500 mA current can flow through the USB port. This model has 4 GB of nonvolatile memory. A dynamic RAM is also incorporated in the module. The memory of the DRAM is 512 MB. The controller also has an internal clock with a real-time accuracy of 200 ppm as well as a Freescale RT MPC8377 processor. The clock frequency of the CPU is 800 MHz.

The cRIO-9025 is no longer available with National Instruments, but the Controller will remain available for both purchases and repair services in perpetuity with Apex Waves.
