NI sbRIO-9612 Single Board Controller

Energy management: 32 analog inputs can simultaneously monitor multiphase voltage and current to achieve power analysis. Four analog outputs are used to control inverters or adjustable power supplies.

Medical equipment: High reliability VxWorks system and FPGA deterministic response, suitable for infusion pumps, diagnostic instruments, etc.

Transportation: Train data recording, onboard status monitoring, wide temperature range, and anti vibration design (to be verified by oneself) suitable for onboard applications.

Research instruments: Utilizing FPGA to achieve custom signal generation and acquisition, such as laser control, particle counters, etc.

Comparison and selection with sbRIO-9611

The onboard I/O quantity and type of sbRIO-9611 and sbRIO-9612 are exactly the same, with the only difference being the FPGA size:

9611:1M gate (17280 logic units), 432 kb RAM.

9612:2M gate (46080 logic unit), 720 kb RAM.

Suggestion for selection:

If the application requires a large number of parallel PID loops, high-speed digital communication protocols (such as custom SPI slaves), image preprocessing, and other complex logic, 9612 should be selected.

If FPGA is only used for simple I/O expansion, PWM generation, and a small number of counters, 9611 is sufficient and cost-effective.

Hardware installation and maintenance precautions

Cleaning: Use a dry cloth to wipe and prevent liquids from entering.

Terminal torque: J3 screw terminal torque is 0.5 to 0.6 N · m (4.4 to 5.3 lb · in.), over tightening may damage the terminal.

Shell requirements: sbRIO-9612 must be installed in a suitable shell to meet safety regulations and EMC requirements. The final system needs to pass relevant certifications.

Grounding: It is recommended to connect the "C" terminal (common ground) of the board to the system chassis ground to reduce common mode noise.

Disposal of discarded electronic devices

SbRIO-9612 complies with the requirements of the EU WEEE Directive. At the end of its lifecycle, it must be sent to a dedicated WEEE recycling center and cannot be treated as ordinary household waste.
