The NI cRIO-9047 is an 8-slot CompactRIO controller built for industrial applications demanding high performance across extended temperature ranges. It combines a quad-core Intel Atom E3940 processor running at 1.6 GHz (1.8 GHz burst) with a Xilinx Kintex-7 70T FPGA for deterministic control, data acquisition, and embedded monitoring. The controller runs NI Linux Real-Time and supports LabVIEW, LabVIEW Real-Time Module, and LabVIEW FPGA Module for custom application development and FPGA coprocessing.
