Wiring Power to the Chassis
The cRIO-FRC
requires an external power supply that meets the
specifications in the
Power Requirements
section. The cRIO-FRC
filters
and regulates the supplied power and provides power for all of the I/O
modules. The cRIO-FRC has one layer of reverse-voltage protection.
Complete the following steps to connect a power supply to the chassis.
1.
Connect the positive lead of the power supply to the V terminal of the
COMBICON connector shipped with the cRIO-FRC.
2.
Connect the negative lead of the power supply to one of the C terminals
of the COMBICON connector.
3.
Install the COMBICON connector on the front panel of the cRIO-FRC
and tighten the screws on the connector.
Caution
The C terminals are internally connected to each other.
Caution
Do
not
disconnect the power supply wires and connectors from the controller
unless power has been switched off.
Powering On the cRIO-FRC
When you apply power to the cRIO-FRC, the controller runs a power-on
self test (POST). During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs turn on.
The Status LED turns off, indicating that the POST is complete. If the
LEDs do not behave in this way when the system powers on, refer to the
Understanding LED Indications
section.
You can configure the cRIO-FRC to launch an embedded stand-alone
LabVIEW RT application each time you boot the controller. Refer to
the
LabVIEW Robotics Programming Guide for the FIRST Robotics
Competition
document for more information.
You can also configure the cRIO-FRC to launch an embedded stand-alone
C/C++ application each time you boot the controller. Refer to the
C/C++
Programming Guide for the FIRST Robotics Competition
document for
more information.
Boot Options
Table 1 lists the reset options available on CompactRIO systems such
as the cRIO-FRC. These options are used to determine how the FPGA
behaves when the controller is reset in various conditions.
