Safety Guidelines Caution Do not operate the cRIO-9036 in a manner not specified in this document. Product misuse can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection built into the product if the product is damaged in any way. If the product is...
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations The cRIO-9036 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4 and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only.
In addition, take precautions when designing, selecting, and installing measurement probes and cables to ensure that the desired EMC performance is attained. Preparing the Environment Ensure that the environment in which you are using the cRIO-9036 meets the following specifications. Operating temperature -40 °C to 70 °C...
2. USB A-to-B Cable 3. Ferrite (x2) Installing Software on the Host Computer Before using the cRIO-9036, you must install the following application software and device drivers on the host computer in this order: LabVIEW 2014 SP1 or later LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2014 SP1 or later...
Complete the following steps to install a C Series module. Verify that power is not connected to the I/O connector(s) on the C Series module. If the system is in a nonhazardous location, the cRIO-9036 can be powered on when you install modules.

Power on the primary power supply and optional secondary power supply. Powering On the cRIO-9036 When you power on the cRIO-9036 for the first time, the device boots into safe mode. The POWER LED illuminates, the STATUS LED illuminates briefly, and then the STATUS LED blinks twice every few seconds.
The device driver software automatically detects the cRIO-9036. If the device driver software does not detect the cRIO-9036, verify that you installed the appropriate NI software in the correct order on the host computer. You can also use the Ethernet port to connect directly to the host computer or network.

Click Next. Select NI Scan Engine from the software add-ons. Select any additional software to install. If you plan on using the cRIO-9036 with the LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can click Next. Click NI Scan Engine if you plan on using the cRIO-9036 without the LabVIEW FPGA Module.
Set a new DHCP connection by holding the RESET button down for 5 seconds. The STATUS LED repeats the same behavior from Step If the cRIO-9036 fails to set a new DHCP address, it assigns itself a link-local IP address. If the DHCP connection is successful and appropriate for your application, skip to Step In MAX, expand your system under Remote Systems.
Ensure that UDP port 44525 is open to communication on the host computer. If you are using an intelligent switch on the network, ensure that it is not disabling UDP port 44525. System Reset The following figure shows the reset behavior of the cRIO-9036. Figure 5. Reset Button Behavior Press and hold RESET button for <...
