Installing the controller while power is applied to it can cause damage to the chassis. The cRIO-9012/9014 requires an external power supply that meets the specifications in the Power Requirements section. The cRIO-9012/9014 filters and regulates the supplied power and provides power for all of the I/O modules in the chassis.

Connecting Serial Devices to the cRIO-9012/9014 The cRIO-9012/9014 has an RS-232 serial port to which you can connect devices such as displays or input devices. Use the Serial VIs to read from and write to the serial port from a LabVIEW Real-Time application.
You can use the SMB connector of the cRIO-9012/9014 to connect digital devices to the controller. For example, if you connect the pulse-per-second output of a GPS device to the SMB connector of the cRIO-9012/9014, you can use the GPS device to correct for drift of the system clock.
Keep this switch in the OFF position during normal operation. If the switch is in the ON position at startup, the cRIO-9012/9014 launches only the essential services required for updating its configuration and installing software. The LabVIEW Real-Time engine does not launch.
2. FPGA 4. USER1 POWER LED The POWER LED is lit while the cRIO-9012/9014 is powered on. This LED indicates that the power supply connected to the chassis is adequate. 10 | ni.com | NI cRIO-9012/9014 User Manual and Specifications...
