NI sbRIO-9607 high reliability embedded controller – suitable for harsh industrial environments!

The National Instruments sbRIO-9607 is a rugged, reconfigurable embedded control and acquisition system built on NI’s reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture, combining a real-time processor, user-programmable FPGA, and industrial I/O in a compact, fanless design. Engineered for demanding applications requiring high reliability in extreme environments, this system integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor (667 MHz) and a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA with 33,280 logic cells for custom timing, control, and signal processing. The sbRIO-9607 delivers deterministic performance for machine monitoring, power grid control, and mobile test systems with its -40°C to 85°C operating range, 50g shock resistance, and corrosion-resistant enclosure. Its integrated 8-channel 24-bit ADC, 4-channel 16-bit DAC, and 24 digital I/O lines provide flexible connectivity, while LabVIEW FPGA programming enables hardware-level customization without VHDL expertise.

Main Features and Advantages

Hybrid Processing Architecture: Seamlessly partitions tasks between real-time processor (deterministic control) and FPGA (sub-μs I/O response) for complex embedded applications.

Extreme Environment Ruggedization: Fanless conduction cooling withstands thermal shock, dust, and humidity. Conformal-coated PCB resists corrosive atmospheres in offshore/military deployments.

Integrated Signal Conditioning: Onboard IEPE excitation for accelerometers, 4–20mA current loops, and 0–10V sensor interfaces eliminate external hardware.

Custom I/O Timing: FPGA enables hardware-triggered acquisitions with <10>

Streamlined Development: LabVIEW RIO Toolkit allows graphical FPGA programming with pre-built IP cores (filters, encoders, PWM).

Application Field

The NI sbRIO-9607 excels in embedded systems requiring harsh-environment operation:

 

Energy Grid Monitoring: Synchrophasor measurement (IEEE C37.118) for substation automation

 

Mobile Machinery: Vibration analysis on mining vehicles with GPS-synchronized data logging

 

Aerospace Test Rigs: Strain-gauge acquisition during thermal vacuum chamber testing
