The NI cRIO-9063 is a rugged, fanless embedded controller built on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 XC7Z020 All Programmable SoC. It pairs a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor running at 667 MHz with an Artix-7 FPGA containing 85,000 logic cells, 106,400 flip-flops, and 220 DSP slices. The system runs NI Linux Real-Time (32-bit) and integrates a 4-slot C Series I/O chassis for flexible I/O expansion, making it suitable for distributed embedded control and real-time monitoring.
