What Modules Are Onboard the Single Board RIO and How Do They Differ From C-Series Modules?

Hardware: CompactRIO>>Controllers>>cRIO-9074

Problem:
I know the sbRIO includes modules for different forms of input and output. How do these modules correlate to the different sbRIO models, and how do they differ from their c-series counterparts?

Solution:
The input and output associated with each sbRIO model can be closely equated to a C-series module. The following table shows what sbRIO model includes which C-series module(s).

sbRIO Model

C-Series Module

sbRIO-960x

None

sbRIO-961x

NI 9205

sbRIO-963x

NI 9205, NI 9263

sbRIO-964x

NI 9205, NI 9263, NI 9425, NI 9476


There are however, differences between the input and output modules onboard the sbRIO, and the C-series modules they equate to. The following table lists the changes made to the modules onboard the sbRIO from the standard C-series modules.

C-Series Module

Differences found in sbRIO

NI 9205

No Isolation or digital I/O

NI 9263

No Isolation

NI 9425

No Isolation

NI 9476

Increased Current Output
Narrower Supply Voltage Range


Note that every sbRIO model contains 110 digital input and output lines. The input and output modules listed above are in addition to these basic DIO lines.

The sbRIO 964x contains the NI 9476 with significantly different current output specifications and supply voltage range. Refer to the sbRIO User Manual for detailed current and voltage specifications.
