NI cRIO-9014 High-Performance Real-Time Controller

The NI cRIO-9014 is a high-performance, fanless real-time controller engineered for demanding industrial and embedded applications requiring deterministic control and reliable data acquisition. Built around a 400 MHz Freescale MPC5200 processor with 128 MB DRAM and 2 GB nonvolatile storage, it executes LabVIEW Real-Time Module code on the VxWorks RTOS for standalone operation with extreme reliability and timing precision.
