Connecting the System to a Network
Connect the chassis to an Ethernet network using RJ-45 Ethernet port 1 on the controller front
panel. Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better shielded, twisted-pair Ethernet cable to
connect the chassis to an Ethernet switch or directly to a computer.
Caution
To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet
installation, do
not
use a cable longer than 100 m.
Connecting Serial Devices to the cRIO-906
x
The cRIO-906
x
has one RS-232 serial port to which you can connect devices such as displays
or input devices. Use VISA VIs to read from and write to a serial port from a LabVIEW
Real-Time application. For more information about VISA VIs, refer to the
LabVIEW Help
. For
