One of the target types supported by the RCP Toolkit is the RCP cRIO-9074 Target.

Description

The RCP cRIO-9074 Target is a hard real-time target, based on LabVIEW Real-Time and the VxWorks real-time operating system.

The RCP cRIO-9074 Target supports, for example, the Quanser Q1-Single cRIO configuration as illustrated below and detailed in the Hardware Requirements and NI cRIO Module Configurations Requirements sections.

Quanser Q1-Single cRIO Configuration

Hardware Requirements

The RCP cRIO-9074 Target is a combined Real-Time Controller and Chassis.

NI cRIO-9074 CompactRIO Real-Time Controller

NI cRIO Module Configurations Requirements

The RCP cRIO-9074 Target currently supports the following select NI cRIO module combinations. Note that only four out of the eight slots are used. The modules must be located in the first four slots of the chassis.

Software Requirements

The software requirements to use LabVIEW and the RCP toolkit on the RCP cRIO-9074 Target are:

LabVIEW Real-Time Module (*)
LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module (*)
Optional: LabVIEW MathScript RT Module (*) [only used in certain Quanser curriculum VIs]
NI Device Drivers Reconfigurable I/O (RIO) (*) Feature
NI Device Drivers Real-Time and Embedded (*) Feature
RCP Toolkit for cRIO, see Installing RCP on the NI cRIO

(*) - The version of the module or feature on the cRIO must correspond to the version of LabVIEW installed on the host.
