NI CRIO-FRC

NI cRIO-FRC is a legacy National Instruments CompactRIO-based robot controller documented for FIRST Robotics Competition use. Official NI documentation identifies it as the robot’s primary embedded control device rather than a standalone C Series I/O module. Configuration and installed module population are unverified unless separately shown.

Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

Official NI documentation explicitly identifies the model name as cRIO-FRC and references a dedicated hardware manual titled “cRIO-FRC Operating Instructions and Specifications.” In the NI LabVIEW Robotics Programming Guide for the FIRST Robotics Competition, NI describes the CompactRIO device as the “brain” of each robot, receiving information from the Driver Station and sensors and executing the deployed robot program. Source: https://download.ni.com/support/manuals/372668f.pdf

The retrieved NI sources support classifying cRIO-FRC as a CompactRIO controller/system for FRC use, not as a standalone C Series I/O module or accessory. NI’s CompactRIO documentation index groups FRC-related controller and chassis documentation separately from C Series module manuals, reinforcing that this listing belongs to the controller/system class. Source: https://download.ni.com/pub/gdc/tut/c_series_documentation.html

NI’s FRC programming guide also describes a documented kit population in which the CompactRIO device contains five I/O modules: two analog input modules, two digital I/O modules, and one digital output module. This is a documentation-level kit description only and should not be taken as proof of the exact modules present on any individual used unit unless those modules are visibly confirmed.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Is the NI cRIO-FRC a C Series I/O module?

No. The supplied NI documentation identifies cRIO-FRC as the CompactRIO device that serves as the robot’s embedded controller or “brain,” not as a standalone C Series plug-in I/O module.

What module population does NI describe for the FRC kit configuration?

NI states that the CompactRIO device contains five I/O modules in the documented kit configuration: two analog input modules, two digital I/O modules, and one digital output module. That statement describes the kit documentation and does not verify what is installed on any specific used unit.

How does NI say the cRIO-FRC is configured for FRC images?

NI states that the CompactRIO Imaging Tool is used to configure the CompactRIO device and download FRC images, and the guide references an image name example of FRC_2010_xx.
