If this is the first purchase of a backup system this calendar year the price with be $750. If you need to purchase individual parts for the system please call (866) 511-6285 and request to speak with an NI Sales Representative.
The NI cRIO-FRC integrated system combines a real-time processor and a reconfigurable field-programmable gate array (FPGA) within the same chassis for embedded machine control and monitoring applications. It integrates a 400 MHz industrial real-time processor with a 2M gate FPGA and has eight slots for NI C Series I/O modules. For rugged applications, the cRIO-FRC offers a -20 to 55 °C operating temperature range along with a single 19 to 30 VDC power supply input range. The system provides 64 MB of DRAM for embedded operation and 256 MB of nonvolatile memory for data logging.
The cRIO-FRC features two 10/100 Mbits/s Ethernet ports that you can use to conduct programmatic communication over the network and built-in Web (HTTP) and file (FTP) servers as well as to add expansion and distributed I/O to the system. For instance, you can use one Ethernet port for communication to an Ethernet camera for image acquisition.
For the 2009 competition season, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) has selected three C Series I/O modules: the NI 9201 for analog inputs, the NI 9403 for digital I/O, and the NI 9472 for pneumatic output. See the Resources tab for more information on these modules.
