Platform Compatibility
CompactRIO modules from Drivven are compatible within two different platforms from National
Instruments. One platform is CompactRIO, consisting of a CompactRIO controller and
CompactRIO chassis as shown in Figure 1a below.
Figure 1a. CompactRIO platform compatible with Drivven CompactRIO modules.
The other platform is National Instruments PXI which consists of any National Instruments PXI
chassis along with a PXI RT controller and PXI-78xxR R-Series FPGA card. An R-Series
expansion chassis must be connected to the PXI FPGA card via a SHC68-68-RDIO cable. The
CompactRIO modules insert into the R-Series expansion chassis. This platform is shown in
Figure 1b below.

Drivven CompactRIO modules are not compatible with the National Instruments CompactDAQ
chassis.
Drivven CompactRIO modules REQUIRE one of the hardware support systems described above
in order to function. The modules may not be used by themselves and/or interfaced to third party
devices at the backplane HD15 connector. These efforts cannot be supported by Drivven or
National Instruments.
You can use Drivven C Series modules with NI cRIO-911x, NI cRIO-907x, and NI R Series
Expansion systems under the following conditions.
–Leave one empty chassis slot between Drivven and NI modules.
