Connecting the cRIO-9068 to Power

The cRIO-9068 requires a 9 V to 30 V external power supply. The cRIO-9068 filters and
regulates the supplied power and provides power for the C Series modules. The cRIO-9068
has a primary power input, V1, and a secondary power input, V2.

The POWER LED on the cRIO-9068 indicates which power input is in use, as shown in the
following table.

Table 1. POWER LED Indicators

LED Color

LED Pattern

Indication

 

 

 

Green

Solid

The cRIO-9068 is powered from the V1 input.

Yellow

Solid

The cRIO-9068 is powered from the V2 input.

Off

The cRIO-9068 is powered off.

Caution

 

Do not connect V2 to a DC mains supply or to any supply that requires a

connecting cable longer than 3 m (10 ft). A DC mains supply is a local DC
electricity supply network in the infrastructure of a site or building.

What to Use

Screwdriver, 2.54 mm (0.10 in.) flathead

Primary power supply, 9 V to 30 V, 25 W minimum

(Optional) Secondary power supply, 9 V to 30 V, 25 W minimum

NI recommends the power supplies listed in the following table for the cRIO-9068.
